[QUOTE="milhouse, post: 228366, member: 26653"] Unfortunately, I don't read German. Can I get a quick summary of what this link is, sensman? I see a port multiplier and a storage module, but am not sure what either of these boxes actually [I]do[/I]. It seems odd to have a controller card (which is what these look like) in an external enclosure without drives. Thanks- Milhouse Never mind- used Google translate. These cards look interesting. What I can't figure out, though, is why I would use this instead of an internal PCI-express of PCI-x card. I do like the status lights, but would have to give up drive space for the controllers. I also couldn't tell if these are hardware RAID, and how the price compares to a good Areca internal card. [/QUOTE]
