RN104 eSATA port
I'm having some trouble working out how to set up an eSATA enclosure so it works with the RN104. I currently have the 104 with 1 4TB drive installed, and that works beautifully. My Lian-Li EX-50 is at...
I've plugged in two different eSATA HD units. Both of them are just simple plugin/plugout drive units. One has a single drive slot, the other has a double drive slot.
The single drive unit is recognized by the 104 as a standalone drive and mounts exactly as a USB drive mounts. I can access the partitions as shares, copy files, etc. etc.
The double drive unit is recognized by the 104 as a EDA500XXX and seems to treat it as an enclosure. I haven't got a spare drive to test what actually happens in this mode.
I would also expect that the drive in the "enclosure" will be handled differently depending on whether you are using X-RAID or FlexRAID.
I'm hoping to have a spare drive available soon (after doing the drive content shuffle) and will report back what I find.
