I don’t understand this either.

Why this instead of the Highpoint Raid? for the same price? You could hook up 8 x SSD instead.

Given the weight and length I can’t imagine this will pass any kind of shock/vibe/drop test!

Cette carte Tempo SSD est basÃ©e sur le mÃªme principe que celle vendue chez Apricorn, soit la Velocity Solo x2 Extreme Performance. C’est dommage qu’on ne puisse pas booter sur un Mac Pro avec cette Tempo SSD alors que Sonnet est gÃ©nÃ©ralement rÃ©putÃ© pour Ãªtre pro-Mac. 🙁

So what is it that makes the Tempo SSD /Pro card worth $149/$299? Because honestly, to me, it looks so like a SATA RAID HBA that can be found at much cheaper prices.

Taking a SATA RAID HBA and replacing the cable connectors with direct SATA & Power on the card itself, then adding an expensive $150 extension plate seems OTT! Or am i missing something?

In reply to pcuser. lol exactly my thought, they should just have something like it, and with a good raid controller to support the 4x msata.
