How many EDA500 can a RN314 handle?
I have an RN314 with 4 x 4TB WD40EFRX, and one EDA500 attached to the READ eSATA port with another 5 x 4TB WD40EFRX drives.
I know the front eSATA port on the RN314 is shared eSATA / USB 2.0 - but is there anything to prevent plugging another EDA500 in there? Has anyone tried this?

You can do that but the performance would be better adding another ReadyNAS to your network e.g. a RN424.
Its for home office, so it's more about cost effective storage than performance... with the EDA500 on Amazon for $125, and 4TB WD40EFRX available for the same price, it's an easy cheap option... but I hear you about performance. the RN314 / EDA500 interface / performance does seem to leave a lot to be desired.
