eSATA problems with ThermalTake BlacX Duet
Gregory Seidman
both drives show up as SCSI disks and all is well. I'd really like SMART
support, though, so I want to connect it via eSATA instead. When I do,
though, I get a series of SATA errors to the console about not being able
to establish a link and attempting to reset. I have another drive connected
via the same SATA card, and it works just fine as well (including SMART).
Has anyone had any success with connecting to this device via eSATA? What
am I missing?

Try with just one disk attached.
Has the onboard sata controller/sata card the "port multiplier" function
enabled? It seems to be a requirement to get the 2 disks working when
using the esata port.

Open a console and run "tail -f | dmesg" then connect the esata external
disk and put here the output.
Things to try:
1/ Another esata cable
2/ Another case
