Four-Channel SATA Bracket

This bracket converts four internal SATA ports into four external eSATA connections using a single InfiniBand 4X multi-lane connector. It provides four 7-pin Serial ATA2 connectors and supports host-side external conversion for PCs or servers. The board measures 2.58in by 1.34in and fits a low-profile PCI bracket. It is designed for external JBOD and RAID configurations with compatible controllers.

LED Indicators and Cable Support

Each of the four channels has its own external LED activity indicator so drive status is visible at a glance. The adapter works with InfiniBand x4 cables and is compatible with 3Ware 8506-xxMI series multi-lane RAID HBAs. Data transfers run at up to 3Gb/s SATA2 speeds across all connected drives.

Check Controller and Bracket Needs

Verify that your RAID HBA or controller offers an InfiniBand 4X multi-lane port before ordering. Confirm whether you need a low-profile bracket, as that option is available on request. Systems without a compatible multi-lane connector cannot use this adapter.

Questions about this item

Will the four 7-pin SATA2 connectors on this bracket need periodic reseating or replacement over time?

The connectors are standard 7-pin SATA2 ports rated for typical insertion cycles; no scheduled replacement is required unless physical damage or corrosion occurs.

What throughput ceiling appears first when all four channels run sustained transfers on the 3Gb/s SATA2 multi-lane link?

The 3Gb/s SATA2 multi-lane interface caps aggregate bandwidth, so that link saturates before individual drive limits are reached.

How much heat or noise does the 2.58in by 1.34in bracket generate when the four external LED activity indicators stay lit all day?

The passive bracket has no active components, so it produces no audible noise and negligible heat regardless of LED activity.
