That is not true!

There is a eBOX-R5 a hardware raid5 five drive base on PM technology featuring
– NO drivers required
– Fully support HDD greater than 2.0TB
– Email notification

With 2x internal SATA in MAC PRO (behind the fan) coupling with SATA to eSATA bracket including the eBOX-R5.

Within couples minutes, you can create a RAID50 (up to 16TB).
Fully data protected that can read and write 440MB/s to 490MB/s

I would look at DATOptic eBOX-M with ARECA ARC-1221X option.
https://www.datoptic.com/cgi-bin/web.cgi?product=eBOX-M&detail=yes
It would give you pver 600MB/s Read/write and only cost you $1028.00 w/o drives.

But if you have budget then look at this:
https://www.datoptic.com/cgi-bin/web.cgi?product=T12_SR5&detail=yes

12x drive raid 5+1 @ $995.00 and transfer over 500MB/sec
