Device Connectors
Built-in Silicon Image SiI3726 Chip, supports
FIS-based and command-based switching
SATA host controllers.
Advanced data aggregation architecture
for ultra-fast read and write operations with
FIS-based switching controllers.
High-speed, native SATA connection to host and devices.
Provides link and activity LED connectors.
Provides a DC Jack for DC Power Input
Supports 1.5Gbps and 3.0Gbps with auto-negotiation
The SS-3176HUB 1-to-5 native SATA2 Port Multiplier is designed to provide a high performance link between a single SATA2 host port and 5 SATA device ports. It expands one upstream SATA2 port to 5 downstream SATA2 ports.
With its unique data aggregation and 3Gbps serial link capacity, it supports 5 SATA or SATA2 devices with auto-negotiation features over one single eSATA connector and supports both 3Gbps and 1.5Gbps devices automatically. It is able to take full advantage of 3Gbps host link bandwidth and FIS-based switching host controllers by bundling together data from device ports and sending it over the 3Gbps host link.
TheSS-3176HUB is designed for optimum performance and expandability. With its hot-plug and hot-swap features, it is an ideal upgrade solution to support SATA and SATA2 devices for the rapidly changing data to preserve userˇ¦s investment in the SATA interface.

The latest in Silicon Image's SATALink™ family, the SiI 3726™ is a
1-to-5 Serial ATA (SATA) Port Multiplier designed to provide a high-performance link between a
single SATA host port and five SATA device ports. With its unique data aggregation and 3Gbps
serial link capabilities, the SiI 3726 takes full advantage of 3Gbps host links and FIS-based
switching host controllers, like the Silicon Image SiI 3124, to provide ultra-fast read and write
performance. The feature-rich SiI 3726 supports all port multiplier-related SATA II extensions,
allowing system designers to exploit the full potential of SATA II across their storage solutions.

Fit to most standard SCSI enclosure (SCSI I 50pin Connector Form Factor)
CGS-3726-A1 is designed to have SCSI 1 50pin connector form factor so it's idea for Quad
bay SCSI case. SCSI Enclosure vendors who are using the SATA or SATA II devices now have an
immediate and no-risk solutions to add Single eSATA interface to their product lines.
The CGS-3726-A1 SATA II 1-to-5 port multiplier is aimed at higher-speed multimedia file storage applications. The CGS-3726-A1 provides the perfect solution for video or image file storage.
Supports 48-bit addressing for large hard drives (>128GB). Connecting up to Five SATA 500GB drives giving Ultimate Storage Solution for up to 2.5TB.
Uses a standard single Channel SATA II Cable to run up to 5-Hard Drives in a RAID
or JBOD Configuration
Applications
CGS-3726-A1 aims at the higher-speed multimedia file storage's via a simple single external eSATA cable solution.
SATA II Mini Enclosures with multiple hard drives.
JBOD large storage enclosures with single cable connector.
RAID enclosures that use Software Stripe or Span.
Multi Drive Connection via single SATA II Cable.
SCSI I Bracket Mounting for Retro Fitting any Multi Drive Enclosure to new eSATA standard.
