| Details: | Rosewill 5-Bay Hard Drive eSATA Enclosure for $150 (expired) (repost) Rosewill eSATA 5-Bay Hard Drive Enclosure for $150 with coupon EMCYWZY85 . This is meant for adding a bunch of Serial-ATA (SATA) disks or a RAID array to your computer. Includes a PCIe x1 card capable of multi-port eSATA (Port Multiplying eSATA), works with Windows and Linux, and has very good reviews. Regular eSATA ports, such as the ones included on your computer's motherboard, will not connect to all 5 drives. The 5-bay enclosure itself will work with Linux and Windows, and can work with any other operating system such as Mac and Solaris, as long as you find a compatible eSATA Port Multiplier card and drivers. The disks can appear as a bunch of regular drives, or used in a software RAID configuration. Software RAID requires the operating system to boot and set up its drivers before recognizing the RAID array. If you lose the operating system, you risk losing the entire RAID array. If you want RAID and your data really is important to you, replace the included PCIe card with a hardware RAID card capable of eSATA Port Multiplying, such as a Highpoint RocketRAID 622 PCIe Card. |
