I was using eSATA with 3 single disk enclosures, and it worked well until the latter started failing (not the disk in at least one case), so I bought a 4-bay enclosure with eSATA and USB-3 connections. The enclosure requires that the HBA supports SATA port multipliers, but unfortunately the LSI HBA I'm using doesn't. I'm more than willing to give eSATA a try, if someone is happy to recommend a cheap enough HBA that is known to work. -- Rich Teer, Publisher Vinylphile Magazine www.vinylphilemag.com _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
