i use cages with USB 2.0 versions of this tech, and no they arent.


USB works as expected (all drives show up, no questions asked) but E-sata requires a controller set to AHCI or RAID mode, that supports port multipliers.



this is the kinda thing i'd love to mod into an old case (or several of them) and make myself some cheap, massive USB 3.0 storage solutions.
