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!

I'm still waiting for the Startech® 2 Port PCI-Express eSATA Controller Adapter Card (PEXESATA2).
I also ordered the StarTech.com 2-poort SATA 6 Gbit/s PCI Express eSATA (PEXESAT32).
I will test both and share it with you all. Finger crossed!

Did you put in drives that already had data on them and find you could access that, or just empty ones?
- CaesareaMay 15, 2017Guide
Both with data and empty harddisk

I have also a 2-port SATA 6 Gbit/s PCI Express eSATA. Here it doens't work, maybe on the card I need to change the jumpers or something else.
Can you acces all the 5 bays ?

Does your 2-port SATA 6 Gbit/s PCI Express eSATA supports port-multiplier?
What is the brand of this card?

Hi Luc,
How are the noise levels with the expansion?
If you purchase the Startech 2-port it is just plug and play with the expansion?
Just put the HDD's in the expansion. Expansion connecting with eSata to the startech and you see your drives in Windows 10?
How are the speeds? If you write a big file to the HDD's what could you expect?
