1. It is better to use the same hard drive brand and memory capacity to use the RAID

functions.

2. When using eSATA connector to set JBOD function, if the host cannot support port

multiplier function, the computer may not be able to detect 2 hard drives
simultaneously. (You may need to purchase the optional port multiplier eSATA
