Compxpert Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 with two drives esata'd through one cable the performance suffers Tis true but you must admit the performance drop isn't as bad as one might think. I was surprised by that myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted November 29, 2009 Posted November 29, 2009 Tis true but you must admit the performance drop isn't as bad as one might think. I was surprised by that myself. maybe the unit needs a small processor to handle the load or something?? If both drives are transferring like crazy it would probably hiccup a little right?

WildCard45 Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 Is there a known pci express e-sata card that accepts the port multiplier functionality? I messaged Thermaltake support and they said to ask the card manufacturers. thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping as the computer expert you would know of which cards have it, or if not first hand experience, a suggestion on which cards it would be likely.
