This impressively new MB561US-4S 4 Bay Series is built with single e-SATA and single USB connection.

A single e-SATA port provides easy direct single connection and flexible options for advance user. With the port multiplier e-SATA connection, you can either connect to port multiplier JBOD adapter to access four drives via e-SATA connection, or connect to the port multiplier RAID controller card for the RAID solution. This is convenient for those who do video editing through Mac or PC and wants configurations of RAID 0 (Striping) settings for massive transfer speed.

Additional USB connection is for quick hook up to any computer system (especially to laptops), which allow user to access up to four hard drives at the same time, best at all theres no driver installation required. This allows users to organize their music, photos, and work data under one enclosure and its perfect for backup solution.

The enclosure takes up to four SATA drives. To power the enclosure, it uses a direct AC outlet, perfect to use it anywhere without having to deal with any adapters. The lightweight construction design protects hard drives with a layer of solid aluminum. The enclosure has a detachable 80mm ball bearing rear fan and uses a built-in fan-less power supply, making it a quiet device. The four hot-swappable drive trays offer great freedom of choice in expanding your storage solution and multi-drive exchangeability for easy maintenance.

@ultrasom just check ur mobos spec for eSATA port multiplier

[ultrasom]

Anyone had success running this with an Asus P5Q-Deluxe mobo (ICH10R)? I'm interested, but the need for the mobo chipset to support "Port Multiplier" is a bit unclear to me.

This looks amazing. I've been looking for something like this to put in my extra hard drives laying around. I was out of E-Sata cables in my computer!
