eSata Port multiplier support? Does anybody know ... if this eSata will support port multipliers or if the Wifi Card (which consumes the only expansion slot) can be removed to gain access to it?.

E-sata appears not to support PM. I just tried a Thermaltake BlacX Duet which requires a port multiplier and it only saw the first drive. Oh well.

My brother said that if you have an eSata port or adapter you can transfer data from your computer using a eSata cable. You can transfer the data to an external hard drive or even to another computer or laptop. He said if the other computer also has an eSata port you will be able to transfer the data much faster than just using the USB port. The cable that I purchased from Amazon had three cables put together but I never got to use it because my computer blew up. The three in one cable has an USB, and an eSata and USB combined cable. I hope this is helpful to you because I never got to use it.Sincerely,Diana Stein My brother said that if you have an eSata port or adapter you can transfer data from your computer using a eSata cable.

My understanding is that it works well with one port multiplier. Suggest you ask SYBA support to clarify this for you. Go to SYBA's website, locate the product page for SD-PEX40054 card. Scroll down and there should be a button or link labeled "Ask a question". Click on that button and ask if the card supports two port multipliers and what are the steps to enable that. In the past i have asked SYBA a couple of questions using this method and they responded within a day (or two days on a weekend) with specific helpful information. One final thought here: are you using Windows native/generic drivers for the card? If so, try updating the drivers in Device Manager with SYBA's drivers. Maybe that will offer better performance?

Probably. Remember that the eSATA port is an extension of your motherboard SATA ports. If you don't connect the card's internal SATA connection to the motherboards SATA ports using a cable, then the eSATA external port on the card is not functional. I never could install the USB3.0 drivers (install keeps failing) so all my card does is provide a external eSATA (pass-through) port. Hope this helps.

With Netgear's firmware, there is no option to set this device up in this way (as a wireless access port). I found this disappointing as thats what I bought it to do. However, if you install dd-wrt instead of Netgear's firmware, then you have a lot more options -- including the ability to use the EX6200 as a dual band Wireless Access Port. In fact, it works much better than the EX6100 (which I purchased when the EX6200 did not work as I intended). Fortunately I have a friend who is willing to buy my slightly used EX6100.

you may want to check and make sure your computer has usb3 support? mine doesn't have usb3 so esata can transfer faster.

The card reader functionality requires the USB connection. The sata connection is just for the esata port.

Card only has pass-thru SATA; ESATA (external SATA) port only works if (internal) SATA connection from motherboard is plugged in to SATA port on backside of card. So all ESATA port does is extend SATA controller from motherboard, it does not provide SATA by itself at all.

Yes. There's a "Disable network" dropdown in the interface, and you'd select WLAN. There is also a PoE version of the Mikrotik 750 that is compatible with the passive PoE that UniFi and Airmax uses and it has 4 PoE ports. Of course, you'd have to delve into the Mikrotik world, but thought it was worth a mention.

The eSATA port and the upper port are shared, so in order to enable the eSATA port on the back you have to change a small jumper on the card itself.I don't recall whether you can have both the upper SATA port and the eSATA port enabled simultaneously, though.

The card supports a 4-Bay e-Sata enclosure on my MacPro with no problems and 3X the performance of USB 2.0. From what I have read in the comments on Amazon, the card will only support one multiport device per card because the port multiplier only seems to apply to one port. I expect to connect another multi-bay enclosure in the future but it will be one with built-in RAID so that it only presents a one device appearance to the card.

There are 2 open PCI Express 1x slots in the HPE-250f, so yes, you can buy a card that will provide two eSATA ports (and even IDE support for a floppy or older DVD-ROM drive ...). Such a card would typically cost less than $25. Check out the link below http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816132014 Sixteen Gb RAM is huge. The HPE-250f appears to be a good value, but realize that there is only room to add one more hard-drive inside the case, and adding cooling to the case is not possible either.

Yes it has per port vlan support. I run 4 vlans on my network. However I prefer the 8 port version as they are more durable.

The documentation states that it supports auto MDI-X, auto speed negotiation, flow control, and 802.1p priority queuing. Also, 802.3af and 802.3at (PoE). 1000Base-T full-duplex. Store and forward method. Nothing more is stated other than the contact info. support@dual-comm.com or 925-658-4824. Its benefit to me is the ease of operation since there is no administrative functions. The USB power compatibility is also a great feature.

Yes. It does support port-multiplier enclosures as well as software RAID sets with a port-multiplier enclosure.

I think probably not. I think the eSATA cable is only for data. My own setup has a second plug to draw power from the USB 3.0 port for the drive.Hmmm, the Wikipedia entry says that eSATA cannot supply power..."However, eSATA connectors cannot supply power, and require a power supply for the external device. The related eSATAp (but mechanically incompatible, sometimes called eSATA/USB) connector adds power to an external SATA connection, so that an additional power supply is not needed."

Nope!! Have to purchase one, I believe it came with a USB, but not eSATA. That would have been nice
