Introduction

SATAPM15-8721 is one -to- five SATA Port Multiplier storage enclosure for five 3.5" HDDs. It is designed to provide a high performance link between a single SATA2 host port and 5 SATA device ports. With its unique data aggregation and 3Gbps serial link capacity, it support 5 SATA or SATA2 device with auto-negotiation features over one single eSATA connector.

Coupling with proper host controllers such as Silicon Image Sil3114, Sil3124 and Sil3132, SATAPM15-8721, a high reliable and extremely fast variety of storage applications (RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, Concatenated and JBOD).

SATAPM15-8721 takes full advantage of high-speed Serial ATA serial bus allowing for multi-user and multitasking performance. SATAPM15-8721 delivers the performance required for servers and I/O demanding applications such as Video-On-Demand (digital content and high-definition video), database servers, workstations, high-end desktops, and image systems.
