Description
The LaCie Esata Thunderbolt External Hub is a device that allows users to connect eSATA drives to their new Thunderbolt-compatible Macs. The eSATA Hub also clears the bottleneck of ExpressCard/34 speeds, allowing for faster transfer speeds between drives and the computer. Additionally, the daisy chain feature of Thunderbolt allows for the connection of additional devices, such as displays or other Thunderbolt devices, without reducing bandwidth.
LaCie eSATA Thunderbolt Hub - For Thunderbolt enabled Apple Mac.
Connect eSATA Drives to New Macs
* Better speeds, better value. With the eSATA Hub Thunderbolt Series, now you can connect eSATA drives to your Thunderbolt-compatible Mac. Connect up to two drives to the Hub, which connects to the Thunderbolt port on your new Mac.
* The eSATA Hub is the perfect solution for companies that use eSATA drives, but have upgraded their Macs to versions without ExpressCard/34 slots. It also offers a great way for photographers or other creatives to boost eSATA driver performance.
Unleashing Full eSATA Speeds
* The ExpressCard/34 maximum bus speed is 2.5GB/s, which limits eSATA 3Gb/s transfer speeds. The eSATA Hub clears this bottleneck, since Thunderbolt's 10Gb/s provides more than enough speed to accommodate 3Gb/s. Achieve the full speed potential of your eSATA drives.
Bring New Value to Your Storage
* You already own eSATA drives, but can't connect them to your new Mac. The eSATA Hub modernizes your drives and puts them back to work. You don't have to buy new drives and scrap the old ones. eSATA and Thunderbolt connections are even software RAID compatible. Upgrade your store with Thunderbolt technology.
Daisy Chain for Convenience
* Thunderbolt technology supports daisy chaining, so you can connect a display or other Thunderbolt device to the eSATA Hub. This means you can connect, for example, your high-end LaCie 324i display and your eSATA Hub to your Mac via a single Thunderbolt cable. Thunderbolt technology also supports two channels - one dedicated for data, and the other for video - each with 10Gb/s of bandwidth. This means you can push and pull audio/video data without reducing bandwidth. Maximum convenience, minimum desktop clutter.
