    I just bought a Sans Digital Towerraid TR4M which is an enclosure for up to four Sata drives running from one eSata cable to an eSata port. The 5739G eSata port does not seem to offer port multiplication which is needed to see the four Sata drives in the TR4M. Is there a software update for enabling port multiplication or do I need to seek another option? I see there are port multipliers available for purchase but they run off of a PCI-E port which the Aspire does not have.

    Any help and/or advice? Thanks.
