PARSIPPANY, NJ - November 1, 2007 - PNY Technologies, Inc. today announced a full line of I/O SATA cards for desktop and notebook computers as the company continues to expand their product line for solutions in and around the computer. The cards provide an affordable solution for adding high performance SATA, SATA II and eSATA connectivity to the user's PC.
