    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!

Did you put in drives that already had data on them and find you could access that, or just empty ones?
