The combination EDA500 and StarTech.com 2-port SATA 6 Gbit/s PCI Express eSATA (PEXESAT32) WORKS!!!

But if you connect the second EDA500 to the second port of the PCI, it does NOT work.

Good luck to you all.

Thanks for the responses!

What problem exactly?
RN102 does not support EDA500.

I have an EDA500 and when I buy an RN312 model, all is ok ?

I hope than I can acces my drives into the EDA 500

  If by "access your drives" you mean read data from them that's already on them, then no. The NAS will need to re-format them to a Linux format before you can use them, which will wipe out all data. If you mean "make use of the drives", then yes.

    On my 4 drives of 4TB are musicvideo's.
    So this means when I want to use the 4TB drives, than I need to format them in Linux, and all my musicvideo's are gone.
    Than better I send the EDA500 back to the shop ;)
    
    Many thanks for your help
