FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., July 11 -- StorCase Technology, a world leader in data protective storage enclosures, today announced the release of a new InfoStation 5-Bay SATA desktop model with support for both PC and Macintosh systems. The latest version of this high-density RAID enclosure allows increased configuration flexibility for up to five removable SATA 3Gbps drives, providing the performance, data protection and adaptability required for today's demanding and dynamic storage applications.
The 5-Bay InfoStation integrates a SATA port multiplier that greatly simplifies cable management by allowing a single cable connection for up to five SATA devices. The versatile enclosure is capable of using all five bays for RAID levels 0, 1, 10 and JBOD, and uniquely supports twice the SATA-specified external cable length. This complete, turnkey solution incorporates a 64-Bit PCI-X 133MHz HBA and includes a shielded 2-meter cable with standard eSATA external connectors.
