INTRODUCTION

The SW-SATA2X4 1-to-4 SATA Switch is designed to provide a high performance link between a single SATA2 host port and 4 SATA device ports. It connects the host upstream port to one of the 4 downstream SATA devices (one device at the same time). It is done by simply pressing the push button switch.

With its Power Switching circuits, the SW-SATA2X4 can switch the devices power according to the settings of the SATA signal switch. It only allowed the selected device to be powered and cut off the powers of the other unselected devices. This will reduce the power consumption and make sure those devices are true off line to prevent from any accidental erasing data by virus or application software.

The SW-SATA2X4 provides a keylock switch to prevent from any unauthorized changing the settings. It helps home of school users to manage the devices easily.

The SW-SATA2X4 is designed for optimum performance and expandability and security. It is an ideal upgrade solution to support SATA and SATA2 SATA 3 devices for the rapidly changing data to preserve user¡¦s investment in the SATA interface.
