He stated he didn't change anything which should mean 1.2.0.46 but that one didn't work out for me.Р”Р‡ollowup: After another failed crack at it with the 1.2.0.46 driver I got it working with 1.2.0.69 (downloaded here). I'm still eagerly waiting to hear back from MetaLRasaM to confirm which specific model probox he has and which driver version works for him. Going to experiment more to see if I can accomplish anything. Thanks to VGA cable I know that with two drives in the enclosure (slot#1 & 3), WHS halts/reboots half-way through booting.

half-way as in the reboot immediately after a driver change where one half of the driver was installed before the reboot and the other half (marvell virtual device or something) after. I briefly had two drives recognized half-way through a driver update. As soon as I do I'll post my results, but I'm not holding my breath. I was thinking of upgrading the Marvell driver and trying again, but haven't had a chance yet (we access lots of our media from the WHS, so I can't reboot whenever I want). I've heard that the speed is fine for most operations, but I would obviously prefer to use the esata port. I switched to the USB and everything works great - all four drives show up, I've added them to the pool and I can see them in Drive Manager. I put four drives in and it would not recognize the drives using the esata port. With the newer boxes the support isn't there for this. It basically takes the 4 sata ports and channels them through the one external port, then the MSS needs to recognize that there are four drives there, not just one. In my research I found that the EX48x version of the MSS doesn't support port multipliers any more (the old version did), which you would need to recognize more than one drive. may I ask why/how you knew it could be a problem? (It seems you have some insights I'm lacking) USB connectivity was not tested (yet).Р”Р„nyway Pics (that I would have found useful before purchasing) follow:Р”ВSCF3184.JPG Р”ВSCF3185.JPG Р”ВSCF3195.JPG Р”ВSCF3204.JPG Р”ВSCF3209.JPG Р”ВSCF3212.JPG Р”ВSCF3213.JPG Р”ВSCF3214.JPG Р”ВSCF3215.JPG Р”ВSCF3216.JPG Р”ВiggityDawg: You asked if I had tried more than one drive at a time. I only tested it with one drive but it worked in both slots 1 & 2.

I'll be powering off the server to make drive changes in the esata unit. Hotswap is not supported and I found that hotplug was unreliable. I fiddled a bit with (esata) hotplug & hotswap. The fan as 4 Settings (Auto/High/Med/Low). It has some nifty features: The PowerSync Modes (turns off/standby with attached computer). I updated to the Marvell 1.2.0.68 Driver ( available here) before beginning but I'm not certain if this is required or even recommended. I picked up a Mediasonic 'ProBox' HF2-SU2S2 4 Bay Esata & USB Enclosure from a local computer shop today.
