** La Cie e SATA Hub Thunderbolt Series: Give Your Storage a Thunderbolt Upgrade.***
- Connect e SATA drives to your new Mac®
- Get full speeds from e SATA drives
- Daisy chain Thunderbolt devices
- Design by Neil Poulton ** Features** ** Connect e SATA Drives to New Macs** Better speeds, better value. With the e SATA Hub Thunderbolt Series, now you can connect e SATA drives to your Thunderbolt-compatible Mac. Connect up to two drives to the Hub, which connects to the Thunderbolt port on your new Mac. The e SATA Hub is the perfect solution for companies that use e SATA drives, but have upgraded their Macs to versions without Express Card/34 slots. It also offers a great way for photographers or other creatives to boost e SATA drive performance. ** Unleashing Full e SATA Speeds** The Express Card/34 maximum bus speed is 2.5 Gb/s, which limits e SATA 3 Gb/s transfer speeds. The e SATA Hub clears this bottleneck, since Thunderbolt's 10 Gb/s provides more than enough speed to accommodate 3 Gb/s. Achieve the full speed potential of your e SATA drives. ** Bring New value to Your Storage** You already own e SATA drives, but can't connect them to your new Mac. The e SATA Hub modernizes your drives & puts them back to work. You don't have to buy new drives & scrap the old ones. e SATA & Thunderbolt connections are even software RAID compatible. Upgrade your storage with Thunderbolt technology. ** Daisy Chain for Convenience** Thunderbolt technology supports daisy chaining, so you can connect a display or other Thunderbolt device to the e SATA Hub. This means you can connect, for example, your high-end La Cie 324i display & your e SATA Hub to your Mac via a single Thunderbolt cable. Thunderbolt technology also supports two channels
- one dedicated for data, & the other for video
- each with 10 Gb/s of bandwidth. This means you can push & pull audio/video data without reducing bandwidth. Maximum convenience, minimum desktop clutter.
