What is RAID?
RAID stands for Redundant Array of Independent Drives. Put simply, this means taking multiple matching drives and arranging them together to achieve large storage space, speed, data protection, or any combination of the three. The MAXPower eSATA 6G RAID PCIe 2.0 Controller Card supports RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 levels as well as supporting JBOD (SPAN and individual drive modes). You can learn more about RAID modes at this link here.
Port Multiplier Support
In addition to supporting any single or dual eSATA enclosure, the NewerTech MAXPower 6G PCIe eSATA RAID Capable Controller Card supports port multiplier enclosures to connect up to 5 drives into a single eSATA port. By supporting port multiplier enclosures, the NewerTech MAXPower 6G PCIe eSATA RAID can provide massive storage and increased data protection by connecting enough drives for protective RAID arrays such as RAID 1,10, & 5.
NewerTech RAID Web Management Utility
The NewerTech RAID Web Management Utility is an easy-to-use web browser-based application to set up RAID arrays, manage connected drives, view storage health status, and view information about the connected storage devices. (See screenshot)
Future Ready Yet Fully Backward Compatible
