2X1 eSATA / USB 2.0 Hardware Port Multiplier (2X1 HPM)
This new 2X1 HPM is the perfect solution for creating an external RAID storage using just 2 hard drives. Designed to fit perfectly into the Addonics family of Storage Tower and many standard 2 bay or larger SCSI enclosures, this HPM is equipped with both the high speed eSATA and the ubiquitous USB connection. Configuring the pair of hard drives connecting to this HPM is simple. The only configuration needed is to turn the dial on the back of the HPM to select the RAID configuration and push on a small recessed switch to finalize the setting. There is no software to install. The entire set of hard drives and the HPM can be easily moved and connected to any computer via either the eSATA or USB connection.
