Anyone used this Sata Multiplexor?

Would be awesome for building a custom external enclosure.

Was thinking of using it as a bootable drive for my notebook which has a built in e-sata port.

Actually, it's this one: http://www.cooldrives.com/siseata5pomu.html
It has a built in raid processor. That way I could put all 5 drives in raid zero.

It might be a bit of a pain to get the system to boot off of that, but yea, looks right.

I used to have a 9 drive enclosure with 2 bridgeboards similar to that one.

What chipset is the e-SATA port on your notebook? Make sure it supports the port multiplier spec. Otherwise this board won't work.

Also make sure the OS supports port multipliers as well. (Windows and Linux generally do from what I've seen)
