Up to (4) G SPEEDeS enclosures can be attached to each workstation for performance well over 600 MB/sec! G SPEEDeS can also be attached to third-party port multiplier aware host bus adapters. The G-Tech 4-port eSATA PCIe RAID controller allows G SPEEDeS RAID systems to be easily be configured as a RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 or as a JBOD. This flexibility enables the system to be tuned to the required level of performance and fault-tolerance necessary to support your application. Connect the G-Tech 4-port eSATA PCIe RAID controller to G SPEEDeS and support multi-stream video editing workflows on Mac Pro and Windows workstations at an unprecedented low cost per TB. Windows 2000 / XP are 32 bit operating systems with a built-in limitation that logical disks cannot be greater than 2TB (2048GB). The G SPEEDeS RAID Controller breaks this barrier with a new technology, Variable Sector Size (VSS). VSS increases the sector size presented to the operating system making it possible to now have logical disks of up to 16TB! No more breaking large disk volumes into multiple 2TB volumes! http://www.synchrotech.com/products-pcie/pcie-esata-raid-3gbit-gtech-01.html http://www.synchrotech.com/_00000284 eSATA 3Gbit/PCIe x4/G-Tech Fri, 22 Jan 2010 16:11:48 PST Closed Monday, January 18, 2010 honoring the Federal holiday celebrating the life and legacy of the Rev.

Synchrotech's 13 Port Hi-Speed USB 2.0 External Hubs provide host computers with 13 additional USB ports and allow flexible tiered Hi-Speed USB configurations with a single hub! These robust and inexpensive hubs run in self powered mode and provides over current protection at each of their downstream ports. Fully USB 2.0 compliant and USB 1.1 backward compatible, it supports low, full, and high speed USB devices and works with any system that supports the USB specification. One of the 13 downstream ports is on top of the unit, and folds down for convenient access to portable USB 'thumb' Drives. Providing thirteen downstream ports in total, these hubs features plug and play installation and transparent operation. This hub is fully backward compatible with USB 1.1 and will work with systems and devices using the slower standard. It comes with a free power supply with a generous 4 ampere capacity, and USB 2.0 cable to connect to a host computer. http://www.synchrotech.com/product-usb/hub_07_usb_13-port-hi-speed-hu1310-hu1311.html http://www.synchrotech.com/_00000282 Hi-Speed/USB 2.0/Hub Tue, 05 Jan 2010 14:59:52 PST As our custom, we are closed from December 24, 2009 to January 3, 2010.
