Supports the Latest I-Type eSATA Connectors
The SeriTek/2eVEN2-1 bundle includes one SeriTek/2EN2 external dual-bay hot-swap SATA enclosure, and one SeriTek/1eVE4 External 4-Port Adapter with eSATA Connectors for Macintosh computers.
The SeriTek/2EN2 is a cutting-edge two-bay Serial ATA (SATA) external hard drive enclosure. It provides versatile hot-swap capabilities with virtually unlimited storage possibilities in a small form-factor package that sits neatly beside your notebook or desktop computer. SeriTek/2EN2 offers the latest eSATA shielded connectors and a whisper-quiet fan with three user-selectable speed settings.
The SeriTek/1eVE4 host adapter provides an easy and affordable way for Macintosh users to add inexpensive, high-speed storage. With four external shielded eSATA Serial ATA ports, each offering 1.5Gbits/sec performance, the SeriTek/1eVE4 provides the high bandwidth to meet the needs of performance-hungry applications. The SeriTek/1eVE4 is PCI-X compatible, permitting Power Mac G5 users to take advantage of the latest extended PCI technology while maintaining backward compatibility with older Power Macintosh systems.

Note: Some Hitachi Serial ATA hard drives are incompatible with the SeriTek/1eVE4 Host Adapter. This is due to a seldom-used Serial ATA feature called SSC, which is enabled on these hard drives. The SeriTek/1eVE4 does not support this feature. Newer model Hitachi Serial ATA hard drives should be compatible with SeriTek/1eVE4.
At this time, the following Hitachi Deskstar hard drives have the SSC feature disabled, and are compatible with the SeriTek/1eVE4 host adapter:
- Model 7K500 (500GB) - Part Number HDS725050KLA360
- Model 7K400 (400GB) - Part Numbers 0A30984 and 0A30985
- Model 7K250 (250GB) - Part Number 0A30340
- Model T7K250 (250GB) - Part Number HDT722525DLA380
- Model 7K250 (160GB) - Part Number 0A30339
- Model T7K250 (160GB) - Part Number HDT722516DLA380
- Model 7K250 (120GB) - Part Number 0A30338
- Model 7K250 (80GB) - Part Number 0A30337
- Model 7K80 (80GB) - Part Number HDS728080PLA380
- Model 7K80 (40GB) - Part Number HDS728040PLA320
Other Serial ATA hard drives from manufacturers such as Maxtor, Seagate, and Western Digital do not have this feature enabled by default and are therefore compatible.
- One SeriTek/2EN2 dual-bay external Serial ATA enclosure with eSATA connectors
- One SeriTek/1eVE4 External four port external host adapter with eSATA connectors
- Two External shielded eSATA data cables, 1-meter each
- Two removable hard drive trays
- Two keys
- Eight hard drive countersink-style hard drive mounting screws

Note: The bundled SeriTek/1eVE4 SATA PCI host adapter is not compatible with late 2005 G5 (11,2) Macintosh computers which utilize PCI-Express (PCIe) slots. The SeriTek/2ME4-E provides PCI-Express support for later systems, including the Mac Pro series.
