it was working under windows 8 after apply the AMD driver (guide link in my post above). So it looks like to make the port multiplier work, both bios and the driver need to support it. What puzzles me is that the guide says the port multiplier works out of box in linux. Coule it be that synology uses a different driver?

would be great to get esata port multiplier work on N40L, which is handled by AMD Southbridge SB850. Based on this article, it should work out of the box on linux: http://homeservershow.com/forums/index. ... -on-esata/ ".... I've used linux to verify this which just works with it out of the box. ...." Thanks!

I hoped it would make the the port multiplexor working on N40L. Unfortunately no. I have a San digital 5 bay esata enclosure. only one drive shows up in the storage manager.
