Hey fellas,
So, I just added eSata to my 2010 27" iMac using the extra SSD SATA port on the MLB. Everything is great, works like a charm, fine and dandy. I'm really happy with the way it turned out. My question though, is about using an eSata hub with this setup. Do you guys thing is would work? I know the protocol is supposed to be the same from eSata and SATA, but I also know that Macs will know when it's eSata from an express card or a PCI card. For me, the drives are just showing up as internal drive, which makes sense. I just don't know if an eSata hub would work because I think I read that eSata hubs only work with certain controllers and I don't want to drop $50-$100 without knowing for sure.
Let me know your thoughts?
Thanks.
