\"\"The benefit of eSATA is high performance data transfer typically 2-3 times faster than FireWire 800 for connecting external devices. A drawback has been the need to install and maintain drivers for modern eSATA controller cards… Until now.<\/em><\/p>\n

The NewerTech MAXPower eSATA 6G PCIe 2.0 Controller Card<\/a> is among the very first in eSATA Controller cards for the Mac Pro and PCs that is fully Plug and Play<\/em>. No drivers required<\/strong> for Apple OS 10.5 and later (also Plug and Play driverless with Windows Vista and later), this ACHI compliant PCI Express card is as easy as it gets for adding external SATA device support. Just “install it and forget it” by plugging it into an available PCIe slot and you can then enjoy the performance offered via the eSATA port standard on many OWC, NewerTech, and other third party single drive and hardware RAID solutions<\/a>. This card isn’t for multi-drive Port Multiplier enclosures\/solutions that require software or special RAID controller to enable RAID operation – but it’s an excellent choice for those solutions like the NewerTech GMAX<\/a>, OWC Elite-AL Pro RAID<\/a>, and OWC Qx2<\/a> solutions that provide a hardware controlled RAID solution and support higher data throughput via standard eSATA ports.<\/p>\n

And for all you speed freaks<\/a> out there, we’ve created the ultimate performance bundle<\/a>. And we’ll have some benchmarks up soon showing just how fast you can go!<\/p>\n

But I digress…back to this awesome card…it offers exceptional ease of use without the worry of a driver that may not work with a future OS release – it’s also an exceptional bargain<\/em> priced at just $59.99<\/a>. Because it doesn’t have those pesky drivers to maintain and possibly cause incompatibility down the road, one of its greatest benefits – that Plug and Play ease \u2013 also allows it to be exceptionally affordable too.<\/p>\n

Bottom line…if you’ve ever wanted to enjoy the higher level of performance available from eSATA \u2013 but with the Plug and Play operation that you’ve grown accustomed to with FireWire – the NewerTech MaxPower eSATA 6G PCIe 2.0 Controller Card<\/a> is your ticket to the fast lane.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
