Green PCI card with metal bracket and two red eSATA ports

SATAGear ST-119e eSATA-150 RAID 2-Port PCI Card

SKU CH-3R8J-CHVJZ

Adds two eSATA ports with RAID 0 and 1 support over a 32-bit PCI interface at 33/66 MHz

  • External connectors2 x SATA II
  • Product typePCI to SATA Card
  • Two shielded eSATA connectors for durable external links
  • RAID 0 striping writes data across two drives for faster throughput
  • 32-bit PCI host interface at 33/66 MHz for broad desktop compatibility
  • 48-bit LBA addressing supports drives larger than 137 GB
  • Independent 256-byte FIFOs per channel buffer host reads and writes

PCI-to-eSATA RAID adapter

The SATAGear ST-119e adds two external eSATA ports to a desktop through a 32-bit PCI slot. Each port runs at 1.5Gb/s and complies with Serial ATA 1.5G specifications. The card supports RAID 0 striping and RAID 1 mirroring across the two channels. It also delivers 1.5A at 5V and 2A at 12V to power attached drives.

Builders adding legacy external storage

This card suits owners of older tower systems that still have a free 33/66MHz PCI slot and need to connect eSATA enclosures or docks. The 48-bit LBA support handles drives larger than 137GB and hot-plug capability simplifies drive swaps. Systems without a conventional PCI slot cannot use this adapter. Users needing internal SATA ports or faster 3Gb/s and 6Gb/s links should look elsewhere.

Sustained throughput with dual-channel FIFOs

Each Serial ATA channel uses an independent 256-byte FIFO organised as 32-bit by 64-deep to buffer host reads and writes. The PCI host interface operates at 33 or 66MHz to keep data moving during long transfers. RAID 0 striping writes simultaneously to both drives for higher sustained bandwidth. Spread-spectrum receiver support helps maintain signal integrity under continuous load.

Questions about this item

Does the ST-119e need a free 32-bit PCI slot running at 33 or 66 MHz?

Yes, the card uses a 32-bit PCI host interface that operates at 33 or 66 MHz, so an available slot of that type is required.

Can I keep my older SATA I drives and still use both eSATA ports on this card?

Each port runs at 1.5 Gb/s and is fully compliant with Serial ATA 1.5G specifications, so first-generation SATA drives will work on both connectors.

How do I verify the card is delivering the 1.5 A at 5 V and 2 A at 12 V to my external enclosures?

Connect the two-pin LED headers on the board; the LEDs will light when the card supplies power to the external ports.
