Rosewill 2 Port eSata II Express Card

None

DOA

Supposedly the Sil3132 chip also supports SATA port multipliers, I have not tried that.

Plug into the computer (Lenovo laptop, Fedora Linux 15), immediately recognized and usable. Running 2x2TB drives on it without any issue

It comes out easily. Don't know if all express cards do that, but while adding and removing eSATA cables I've unplugged this express card by mistake

Not sure what to make of the non-functionality in the Dell. Other ExpressCard devices work fine so I know the slot is OK. Have tried Win7 and XP but no dice for either on the Dell M4600.

Works fine in HP dv7 notebook. In machines where it works it seems to work OK

Doesn't work at all in Dell Precision M4600 notebook

It's a great unit and works well with OSX and Windows. I use this for audio recording applications and haven't had any issues yet. Apart from the lack of promptness from Rosewill to release drivers under their name and the shoddy sticker situation, I...

Works flawlessly every time it's plugged in ; Able to connect 2 or more HDD's at once ; SIIG chipset so drivers are USUALLY updated... but good luck finding them ; Solid construction and hasn't fallen apart after two years ; Support for OSX and Windows

Can't find the latest drivers for OSX when you need them ; Sticker on the unit started peeling off after first few weeks removing name and model number for identifying when searching for drivers ; If I were a first-timer or newbie to the techie...

i recently bought Startech eSATA card, slightly more expensive, but has a plastic stabilizer for the wide ExpressCard slot), is recognized by the OS easily, works fine. i gave away this card as it no longer seemed worth the effort of trying to get it...

cheap ; 2 eSATA ports

no physical stabilizer included with the card - it's too easy to accidentally move it sideways in the wide ExpressCard slot (especially that my laptop has its optical drive located directly under it) and disconnect your external hard drive(s), causing...

I tried posting the link that Rosewill customer support sent me so that other people could download working drivers for OS X 10.7, but the review got rejected for containing a link. My best advice is to google the following: "SiI 3132 Mac OS X 10.6.x...

I was utterly disappointed that this stopped working when I upgraded my MacBook Pro to OS X 10.7 (Lion). After contacting Rosewill about upgraded drivers, they pointed me to drivers from the Silicon Image site. I was a bit dubious, but sure enough,...

None, anymore

How does one diferentiate an eSata connection that supplies power from one that does not?

Installs in Windows7 and Vista drivers without the disk, very slick

Connected drive must have source of power in addition to the eSata connection. So although this is unit has eSata sockets, it does NOT supply power for the drive

I've seen a lot of reviews that say this card falls out. I have yet to see any issue of this at all. I use this with a 2006 Macbook Pro and it very solidly spring locks into place. I even tugged on it (gently) when I first got it because I was afraid...

Price ; Dual Ports ; Works as advertised

The end IS a bit bulky, but not BAD bulky

Plug it in, plug in a drive, get built-in speed. What more could you ask for? Hooked up to a 1TB for Time Machine and VM images, both of which are very fast. I wouldn't mind if it was a little thinner. It protrudes ever-so-slightly above the lid of my...

Stable in normal operation, fast, plug-and-play, so on. Exposes an eSATA port, and goes great with an eSATA drive. Does what I bought it for, in constant use for the last year

Not plug-and-play on OSX, installing the drivers was easy but not obvious since it seemed to detect and install but didn't work. Needed to update the drivers again when I started booting 64-bit (was the only one). Card crashes OSX when it's removed or...

It works with my MacBook Pro A1226 Running OSX 10.5.8 and that's all that matters!!! I have my data on a G-Drive and Esata runs circles around FireWire 400/800 and nothing out there for this price range worked!! I was looking at a $60 card before I...

PRICE and FUNCTIONALITY

It sticks out a bit, but that's nothing that should deter you from buying this thing if you really need your esata to work and for CHEAP
