Detail:

Do your storage needs outweigh what your Power Mac® G5 can support? Stuff it—with drives, that is! Sonnet's Tempo™ SATA X4i 4-port Serial ATA Host Controller for PCI-X enables you to connect up to 4 additional internal drives for the perfect balance of flexible expandability and superior performance. This card is an ideal companion to our G5 Jive™ internal drive mount system for Power Mac G5 computers—along with your SATA drives, this combination is the most cost effective way for adding up to 4 Terabytes of high-performance capacity to your G5.

Do you need more speed? Tempo SATA X4i offers 3 Gb/s per port data transfer support and gives you performance to burn! You'll get great performance from individual drives, but grouping up to four Serial ATA hard drives in a RAID 0 (striped) array will provide astonishing sustained read/write performance numbers enough to capture and process High Definition video! Want more security? Set up your drives in a RAID 0 (mirrored) or RAID 10 (striped/mirrored) array for up to 2 Terabyte of data redundancy. When you need more flexibility and performance than offered by standard solutions, get a Tempo SATA X4i—it'll give you room to grow and blazing performance for the most demanding applications.


Technical Notes:
(1) Western Digital manufactures Desktop edition (WD Caviar, Caviar SE, Caviar SE16, and Raptor X) hard drives and Enterprise (RAID) Edition (WD RE, RE2, and Raptor) hard drives. Each type of hard drive is designed to work specifically in either a desktop computer environment, or connected to a RAID controller (hardware or software-based). If you intend to configure Western Digital drives in a RAID set, Sonnet and WD recommend using only their Enterprise edition hard drives. For more information, see this Western Digital FAQ.

(2) Performance will be lower in PCI-only machines.

(3) Parallel disk drives are supported when using Sonnet's Tempo Bridge or similar Serial ATA-to-Parallel ATA adapter.

(4) Mac only; Windows requires the installaton of included drivers.

(5) Mac OS X Version 10.5 requires firmware Version 2.1.2 or greater

*Support for 20 drives requires the use of drive enclosures employing port multipliers (like Sonnet's Fusion 500P). When using an enclosure without a port multiplier (such as Sonnet's Fusion 400), Tempo SATA X4P will support up to 4 drives.
