I had an ESata card with cables ( bought in Japan) that let me attach a
caseless SATA hd directly to the PC. Worked fine under Kubuntu 6.06
until the mobo went up in smoke.
On another note, I'm currently running Kubuntu Hardy and cant get it to
recognise HDs correctly when I have both IDE and SATA hds attached, so
check that your hardware doesnt have similar problems. Another problem
that has arisen ( on another PC but identical mobo ) is an Error 15
after clean install - from info on Forums, this may be due to same
problem and install placing MBR on wrong HD
I posted re the IDE/SATA problem within the last couple of weeks.

Hi
I am looking at expanding my disk space on my box. I have turned my eye
to these little external boxes.
I was wondering has any one else on the list used one of these.
I was hoping to connect to it with esata (the reason for the lacie esata
controller). A quick google brings me lots of adds to sell but no into
on the controller and how I will see the drives.
My initial thought is to have them in hardware raid1 ( I am going to
raid them any way no need to flood the bus with twice the amount of
traffic). If i use raid1 and esata will linux only see one drive and
how do I tell if there is an error with the drive ?
Thanks
