PE-124R5

Raid5 eSATA II -3Gbps External 4Ports PCI-e 8 lane Host Adapter

eSATA II-3Gbps External 4Ports PCI-e x8 card support NCQ, Port Multiplier, Raid5, Raid10, Raid0, Raid1 and JBOD!

RAID 0 (Striping), RAID 1 (Mirroring), RAID 0+1 (mirrored-stripping), RAID 5 (Distributed Parity RAID) and JBOD (Just Bunch of Disks) manage multiple disk drives to enhance I/O performance and provide redundancy in order to withstand the failure of any individual member, without the loss of data.
