Works out of the box By Joshua Hattersley This is a great addition for anyone looking to add more SATA devices to their computer. I personally needed more ports to accommodate more hard drives in my newly-installed SATA backplane, and didn't want to use port multiplier technology due to concerns over bandwidth constraints. This card is PCIe 1x and works like a charm; I'm running under Ubuntu 9.04, and literally didn't need to perform any setup beyond installing the card and plugging in my drives. The featured SIL3124 chipset is widely supported, which is one of the reasons I went for this model.Good price, great value--why get a card with anything less than four ports if you're going to install one anyway?--and works like a charm. Highly recommended. Note that the card also supports RAID functionality, but I'm not using it as I've already got a software RAID running via mdadm under Linux. 8 of 9 people found the following review helpful. works fine, a bit expensive By Sam First of all, this is not a real (HW) raid card, raid functions are implemented in the driver. For me that is OK, I did not need it for that. I am using this card under Linux (Ubuntu 9.10) for a software raid array with the Linux kernel software raid (mda), NOT using the drivers by Silicon Image. I actually flashed the non-raid bios available from Silicon Image's site and you should too unless you want to use their raid drivers.Building the same array (same drives, same kernel, same everything) using the SATA ports on the motherboard (FoxConn 785G) resulted in constant failures of the array. Switching to a Gigabyte MB made things better, but still not perfect. With this card I have zero failures for weeks. So as a 4 ports PCIe SATA card, it works like a charm with recent Linux kernels.The biggest negative is that it is way too expensive for what it is good for. It should sell around $30 like the PCI (non PCIe) cards from the same manufacturer with the same chipset do. Strangely I found Amazon to be cheapest, even if not by much. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. RAID **BEWARE** By Michael Cole I swear by Sil cards as they have worked flawlessly for me in the past (have 6 running in older machines). This one came with a BIOS from 2006 - and it failed to boot my existing OS. Standard procedure is as follows: 1. install the card. 2. Boot the machine. 3. install the driver. 4. reboot the machine. 5. shut down machine, move the SATA cable to the RAID card (ID0 is the second connector from the face - 1 | 0 | 2 | 3). 6. Turn on the machine. The card is suppose to work even if the motherboard BIOS fails to recognize it, however, all I kept getting was failure. Flashed the bios to the latest 2010 version. Rebooted and all was well.BEWARE** if you do not feel comfortable performing a command line BIOS update, this is not the card for you. See all 12 customer reviews...

No issues after 2 years By S. Mason I have this installed on a PC running windows 2003 server for over 2 years and have had no issues with it. Great card! 0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Works great in a Dell T110 By Danisoid The install was simple and easy. Immediately recognized by the Dell BIOS and Server 2008. Is installed for no-boot, 1 TB RAID 1 storage. The only negative is that it took 12 hours to create the array with 2 similar 7.2K HDs. It is a lot compare to other controllers I used on other machines. See all 5 customer reviews...

The TowerRAID TR5M-B is a 5-bay storage enclosures for high capacity storage needs. With built-in ventilating protective screen front panel, the units utilizes cable-less backplane design to support up to five hard drives. Hard drives are installed on easy access hard drive trays for simple insertion and removal. Hard drive cooling is provided by a large 4.7-Inch cooling fan located on the back of the unit. The TR5M-B is a compact RAID tower that uses only one cable to access five SATA drives utilizing the latest SATA II port multiplier technology. Using the bundled 2-port eSATA PCIe adapter, the user could easily access five hard drives via JBOD mode, or RAID 0, 1, 1+0 and 5 with spare.

Color: Black Brand: Sans Digital Model: TR5M-B Dimensions: 8.25" h x 11.00" w x 6.00" l, 9.30 pounds Five 3.5-inch SATA hard disk drives to a single eSATA Port Multiplier interface.

TR5M-B ESATA Storage By Robert Mcgeorge I was searching for a fast and efficient way to manage large volumes of files and this seemed to be pretty much what I needed. I have tested the Thermal take Dual Esata/USB Hard Drive array and they did not say anything about needing a HBA card that is explicitly for multiporting. Works in JBOD or RAID with USB. Only reads one hard drive in ESATA if you do not have a multiport HBA (Host Bus Adapter) Card. All computers right now do not come with a multiport Esata HBA installed even the ones with two ESATA Ports. I have tried the Linksys Dual Network Attached Storage NAS-200 and found it to be very slow at data transfers but very reliable when you have it like you want it. The good thing about the TR5M-B setup is that it comes with the multiport card. Use it! It works! I tried first setting up the unit without the included software. All JBOD.Findings Pro: It found my two hard drives (Seagate 1.5Tb and 500 GB)that I installed with data already on the hard drive. I was able to access the data.Findings Con: The transfer rates in this setup (Straight Pass Through-No manufacturer software installed) were pretty slow. 30 to 60 Megabytes per second.With manufacturer software installed:Findings Pro: I took the data on the two hard drives and backed it all up. Then I installed the manufacturer software and configured for JBOD again with that same software. The transfer rates were 100 to 200 Megabytes per second. This is the same speed as transferring between two internal hard drives on your computer. Use the Software!Findings Con: Transferring Between the TR5M-B Hard Disk #1 and TR5M-B Hard Disk #2 were pretty slow, about 30 Megabytes per second. This is due to it having to go through the same multiport HBA card for data transferring. (Tunnel Effect)Use it for transferring from your computer on-board hard drives to the TR5M-B drives or visa-versa(same transfer rates). Try not to transfer between the hard drives within the TR5M-B!Some day this will be ancient stuff...hmmmm maybe in about 5 years.Bottom line: It works for storing data and not having to spend over a $1000 bucks. Buy your hard drives as your pocket book can handle it. So far I am looking at installing all 1.5Tb hard drives due to the fact they are still 7200rpm and about $114 at Bestbuy. When the 2Tb hard drives go to $100 and 7200rpm then I will look into them. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Great unit By John S. Dean I needed an array so I could hang it off a windows home server and store all my dvd's. This one little unit replaced two large 200 disc DVD changers I used to hang off my media center computer, under my TV. I only threw 6 TB of disks on it for the time being, but it works to hold all my digital media - saved TV captures, AVI files, MP3's, photos, files, backups, and about 650 movies now.Setup was a snap, discs are easy to get in and out, and since it's in my basement, even if the unit had been noisy it wouldn't have bothered me, but it's not.Great way to get some disk storage for your digital content. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Great for archiving backups By Prodigal Knot These are terrific little disk enclosures. They are a little noisy for desktop use, but I use them as archival backups of data on my SAN. The price of large capacity disks is so reasonable now, there is no excuse to use tape anymore.I have a total of 6 2TB units that I keep my working backups on. Since I need to have a fail-over that will work quickly, these backups are essentially replicated copies of the exact files and file structure on my SAN. With a single 4 port 300Mbps SATA card on any server or workstation I can have a completely functional backup for my 6TB worth of document images from my SAN. Performance is a slight issue as the disks I use on these backup disk arrays are set up as RAID-5 using the Silicon Image Java
