## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it support hdd leds for all sata ports?**
A: Yes, in fact there are two LEDs per drive one for activity and one for error.

**Q: Is the raid mode handled by the adapter so that i could connect multiple drives, and a host connected via usb 3.0 will see one raid volume?**
A: Yes, that is correct. The RAID is handled by firmware on the board. You can configure for JBOD (default) or one of several RAID modes. Instructions for setting the RAID modes are included with the board.

**Q: Whats the best way to power your hard drives when using this device?**
A: This board is intended for use in an external drive enclosure. Power would be supplied to both the drives and the board by the enclosure power supply.

**Q: Does this suport sata 3.0gb/s or sata 6.0gb/s on the ports?**
A: On this combo board, the SATA port operates at SATA II, 3.0gb/s. For SATA 6.0gb/s see our ST-172 port multiplier bridge board, also listed on Amazon.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does what it says on the box.
*by J***. on April 12, 2016*

This is identical to the Addonics AD5HPMREU in every way except price.I'm using mine with (5) 2TB WD RE4-GP discs mounted in an old Antec Lanboy case to make my own DAS. They are connected to a 2011 Mac Mini Server with a Kanex KTU which is my home server.I downloaded the JMicron JMB360 RAID software from Addonics' website and was off to the races. I don't have synthetic benchmarks handy but it at least doubled both the read and write than the same drives in JBOD mode using OpenZFS RAIDZ on OSX. Admittedly, I hadn't found a good place to put the ZIL so it was on the same drives as the rest of the data. Also, ZFS will probably have much better data protection, disaster recovery and error handling than this simple "hardware" RAID controller.For the price, it's hard to beat.UPDATE: 11/21/2017It's been over a year an a half and it's still chugging along. The only issues I have are when I accidentally disconnect the eSATA cable. Fortunately, I just plug it back in and both the computer and RAID controller pick up where they left off.

### ⭐ Scam! Beware!
*by B***N on August 28, 2016*

Scam. Item delivered to me was labeled as a oodelay sata multiplier but on the inside it was an old laptop charger.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great innovative product
*by A***N on June 15, 2016*

Great innovative product. Allowed me to put a bunch of smaller SATA drives, that had been replaced in other systems, into a Windows Storage Space on my Windows 10 HTPC. Oodelay support was very helpful in providing a complaint port multiplier card, since my original eSATA adapter card (Syba) did not really support multiple attached drives even though the description said it did. Used Sans Digital HDDRACKS 5 bay and a re-purposed ATX Power Supply. Fantastic low cost NAS alternative.
