performance storage subsystems, today introduced its new TowerRAID series that includes the TR4M SATA to JBOD enclosure and the TR4U SATA to USB 2.0 JBOD / Spanning enclosure.
TowerRAID TR4M

This unit comes with a 2-ports eSATA PCIe card (HA-SAN-2ESPCIE) at no additional cost, which allows the connection between two TR4M units (up to 8 hard drives) using only two cables. Supporting RAID 0, 1, 0+1, 5, 5+spare, spanning and JBOD using latest Silicon Image SATARAID utility, this compact tower can virtually solve all the storage need.

Various combinations of JBOD and spanning mode can be used, making it an effective way to expand storage using USB 2.0.
Both units feature hard drive bay cover, cable-less backplane, and tray-free swappable design. Both models incorporated operating system independent design with support for Linux, Windows 2000/2003, Windows XP and Windows Vista, and Mac OS X.
