Hey all,

As I'm reorganizing my digital life, I just came across the fact that WHS 2011 doesn't see anything but the top drive that is connected via my eSATA drive rack to my EX470...

device manager doesn't show a missing driver...and this rack worked fine with my WHS V1...so...what's up?

I also checked "manage" under My Computer...the drives aren't listed. I even had one formated, and still nothing but the top one. I switch orders, and still only the top one.

You must not have a port-multiplier aware driver loaded, I'd look for a different driver for the Marvell eSATA controller.

Have you tried our Add-Ins?

that's what I was thinking, because the USB interface works fine...but I can't find anything on Mediasonic's website...and I'm not sure which driver is needed for Server 2008...any clues?

Just an update:

this DID NOT work:

Of course they didn't work because they are 32 bit drivers, you need the 64 bit drivers for the Marvell chipset.

I keep forgetting WHS 2011 is 64bit!

Hey guys, I was able to find a couple of 64bit drivers...but I'm not sure if they're correct...btw, the 32 bit installed fine...just no change in the outcome...any ideas?

I'd try the 64-bit drivers for Windows 7, version 1.2.0.69 here: http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?S ... E&p=1&s=22
