ITEM IS DISCONTINUED. PLEASE SEE TowerRAID 6G TR8M6G AS A DIRECT REPLACEMENT The TowerRAID TR8M+B is a compact RAID tower utilizing the latest SATA port multiplier feature, where one single eSATA cable connects to eight SATA hard drives. Bundled with a high performance PCIe 2.0 x1 RAID controller card RR622, its RAID 5 performance is capable of reaching over 250MB/s. Online expansion is a feature included in the controller card so that RAID could be expanded without the need to recreate the storage space or erase the existing data.
