i was looking for a cheap/zero cost solution , but this might be a possible way to go.

i read these topics already .. but there is no mention of a esata port multiplier card ... and searching the net didn't help me either so if anyone knows a working port multiplier card with 4 esata ports, i would be very happy.

So there is no way to do this with this controller. Do you know a controller that works?

Hello. i have a problem with nanoboot/dsm5 in combination with a esata port multiplier card. My Setup: Case: Thermaltake Element Q http://www.thermaltake.com/products-model.aspx?id=C_00001514 Mainboard: SuperMicro X7SPA-H http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/ATOM/ICH9/X7SPA.cfm?typ=H PCI Express 4 Port eSata Port Multiplier Card: Sonnet Tempo Sata E4P http://www.sonnettech.com/product/tempo_sata_e4p.html ext HDD Cases: 2x Icy Box IB-3640SU3 http://www.raidsonic.de/en/products/details.php?we_objectID=8248 HDD: 6x WD 750G + 1x Seagate 750G i am using the latest nanoboot and DSM 5.0-4493 Update 3. i can only see the first sata disk from the both hdd cases, the other ones are invicible. do i have to configure a special kernel module to enable the port multplier functionality in combination with the sonnet esata card?
