Planning to use this as JBOD, Read somewhere I must make sure my controller is port-multiplier capable. True? Are today's controllers pretty much have this capability?

As I understand it, port-multiplier on this unit refers to the fact that they can be daisy chained using the e-sata port to other NAS units. You will probably connect the unit to your computer or router through the USB port, which work perfectly. Even if you don't have enough existing USB ports you can cheaply buy and external USB hub. I have the 2 Bay unit and have it configured as RAID 1. I am very happy with the unit and have had no problems. I am not sure if you are using PC or Mac but on my Mac it took less than 5 minutes to configure the unit and have it ready to use. I would recommend using "red" drives. I bought WD red 2 Terr drives from Ebay. Everything works great. I hope this answers your question and helps. Harry Riley

A port multiplier is only required if you're using e-SATA instead of USB 3.0. Some e-SATA cards do not support port multiplying, which will cause only a single disk to be viewable on your system. Pay special attention to the specs on e-SATA cards to ensure that they support port multiplication. You need not worry about this at all if you will be connecting the device via USB 3.0.

To follow up, not sure I made the point clear the unit itself is port-multiplier capable with other NAS units. Harry Riley

Sorry for the delay. I assume its only a computer game, like the previous two answers. But, if you want to try it out, go for it. I know there are games you can have the controller hooked up to it as well. If you want, contact WildTangent games.

I have several 3Tbyte drives installed (linux software raid6) no problems, I am however not utilizing the fake-raid (firmware) on the card itself as I consider that a different risk should the controller card fail at some point. The port multiplier onboard the unit seems to handle the larger drives just fine.

yes it will show as a usb controller, and will use considerably more power. But works really well for me. I even run WD USB 3.0 UBS bus powered HDDs through it. I love this card.

I was able to connect and configure it successfully to the Vera. It took a lot of persistence but it does work to control scenes and devices. The biggest "revelation" came when I learned that each button had to be set-up as a "trigger" instead of a controller.-- I never added any single devices to this controller, rather assigned them from the Vera.

I believe it's only 2.0, at least with the version I purchased. There very possibly may be a newer version out. I put it in my Dell desktop to replace a burned out USB controller on the main board and it's worked flawlessly ever since.

A serial port? Uniden includes a serial cable? Are you freakin' kidding me? Why waste the money to even make those?!? Who even has a serial port anymore? Thanks for nothing Uniden!

Just got mine today. BCD 8 - sorry. Had to take the plunge. I will let you know whether it works anyway. The incompatibility is apparently only with certain USB controllers.

I actually haven't tried that out, I can test it out in a bit. Update: I have tested it on Ubuntu 12.04. Nothing extra to do for the controller or adapter to be detected. I gave it a go on the zsnes emulator and configured the inputs and it worked out fine for every button. Played Super Mario World on it and everything responded like it would when I'm using windows. I have yet to try other games/programs on Ubuntu.

Searching on the web I couldnt find any reference for this compatibility, yet, you must try searching on users guide because this controller seems to be very flexible about compat. Luck

It may, but I have discontinued use of mine. While good in theory, it just doesn't stay connected very well after any sort of network glitch in the system. I'm a network engineer, so its not like I am unfamiliar with how these things work, but even a reboot of the controller causes this to need to be reprogrammed. Now, I could have a faulty one - but as this is my second with the same exact behavior, I chalk it up to poor design.

Hi Bill, We are working on both an extension for the current system and a 16 valve controller. Ethernet is not supported yet. Working on a USB to Ethernet solution. Laptop setup/control is available even now.

Yes it is. Event two at the same time. But buttons need to be mapped in Mupen64. I'm looking for the right configuration !

Your question doesn't make much sense but to use it for a case for a jbod configuration you'd need a SAS controller that will function in jbod.
1068676
yes it is the only adapter what works with Jbod. I have the Sans tower myself. Just read the instruction who come with the adapter. It is the only adapter to show all Hard drives independently on the Desktop

It does allow JBOD but I wouldn't recommend it. You should really use RAID 5 to take advantage of this unit.

I have been using it for about a month playing TitanFall. It worked perfectly right out of the box and I have had no issues.I have not noticed any lag in controller response, being a wireless connection.
