I am wondering if anybody that has used one of these PROBOX HF2-SU3S2 external expansion boxes is still around.

I wonder if the Smart addin will see the drives in it.
Esata and/or Usb My Lian Li 5 bay external does not support sleep and smart does not see the drives.

Thx in advance and Great Holidays everyone !!!

I have the Probox HF2-SU2S2 external expansion box. It is the USB 2.0 equivalent to the HF2-SU3S2.

I have it connected via eSata and the SMART addin sees all the drives and provides all the same info as for the internal drives in my EX470. I did connect it once via USB but then SMART would not see the drives.

The sleep function also works well, with the Probox "sleeping" when I shut down my 470 and "wakes" when I fire up the 470.

It has worked really well for me for many years (got the 470 in 2008 and the Probox in 2010) and I have not had any drop-outs.

Hope this helps.

Bert
