Hi and welcome to the Gigabyte Forum.
Yes there is no reason why this shouldn't run perfectly on the motherboard but I don't actuallly know of anyone connecting one of these enclosures before.

Hi Dark
Do you know which PMP driver for e-sata does have the motherboard ?

If you don't do you know where I could ask?
Thanks ;D

I expect Pierre can help you more than me as he seems to be our network/LAN guru.
It might be worth also taking out a ticket with GGTS
Just enter your email address and click on the language of choice.

I think that this box run only with SIL3132 PCI-express card ( i have not found documentation to LIAN LI )
For me that is not a good solution ???
**
You have some products with complete independant OS / possibility / interface
I have 4 * Addonics adapters with 4 * 1TO disks in RAID 10
--> use only one eSata port configureable in RAID 0 , 5 , 10 JBOD max partition is 2TO
--> can used with eSata port or USB
--> speed in RAID 10 is some 160 Mo/s connected to my GA-X58A-UD5
--> I use MotherBoard GA-X58A-UD5 ESata port Marvell 88SE9128 or add-on PCI-e add-on card RR622 HighPoint
--> http://www.addonics.com/products/host_controller/ad4sr5hpmus.asp
Exist also another products by exemple ( configuration with a little LCD sceen )

* but ...
* If LIAN LI EX-303 or 503 are with only one eSata connector and one for USB , the electronics for Raid is internal and features are similar to Addonics adapters ???

Hi Pierre
http://www.lian-li.com/v2/en/product/product06.php?pr_index=503&cl_index=12&sc_index=48&ss_index=129&g=f (http://www.lian-li.com/v2/en/product/product06.php?pr_index=503&cl_index=12&sc_index=48&ss_index=129&g=f)
This one should work no?
-----------------
Something I don't understand is that Lian Li 50 or 503 should have this PMP installed in order to be readed by any computer connected...
If I installed this pci multiplier to my pc , I will have more sata ports but I don't understand how it is helping me to see all units in the DAS
As i understand it, the pci will transform my pc in das basically no?
-----------------
Anyway i am still waiting for gigabytes to tell me if the motherboard does support PMP
Thanks

I have read EX50 documentation with interest
1 - With EX-50 Lian Li the Raid or no Raid configuration is by Jumper or Software
By jumper the configuration 2 possibilities Internal or External
In external mode requiert a compatible PCI-e card with SIL3132
In internal mode 5 config by jumper - use only any eSata port
If you use internal mode i think that features are similar to my Addonics Adapters with the jumpers configuration
Use a computer running price is low some 160 dollars without disks
2 - With EX-503 no doc m no price ...
3 - With X-40 is a completly independant machine used as a little server or a good network disk with some servicess ... fine
but the price .. i have see some 500 dollars without disks
Use no a computer running

With EX-503 no doc m no price ...
:D ;D
My interest was 503 so i did not ever check 50 odel doc, my bet...xDD
If I understand well, will have to find doc anyway to confirm but if i connect ex-503 by e-sata using the internal config mode by jumper, everything should gofine?
I have no intention at first to use raid at all or to install any SO.
I am checking the website you gave me earlier, there is some good stuff in it and affordable price...
Merci Beaucoup Pierre
On reste en contact....

PMP which might not support because there's no such driver
I will ask lian li directly
----
I am a bit lost between all The Nas models...
http://www.shopaddonics.com/items.asp?Cc=MST&iTpStatus=1&Tp=
This one should work fine?
I just need a Nas for less than 200€ wich support e-sata and usb 3.0
If you have any ideas ...
Thanks
