I have a Sharkoon docking station Quickport duo. It can contain 2 sata hdd's and had one esata output and one usb output. When I connent the esata tot my notebook with esata only one hdd is visible. Does the G51Jx has a sata port multiplier? Wich one?

AFAIK the G51Jx esata port's controller is not able to do port multiplication so that would explain why you only see one device.

I have got G51VX and it has got the same SATA controller as yours ( ICH9M-E ). Unfortunatelly, I bought eSATA RAID0 and RAID1 HDD enclosure ( CEB-2235S ) and it does not work for me in DUAL or RAID 0 mode. It is based on SIL5744 chipset and it does not work with our controller ICH9M-E via eSATA. Our ICH9M-E does not allowed port multiplying.
So that was the answer for your question.
I have did RAID0 inside my computer ( 2 x 320GB HDD ). Below is a screenshot from HD Tune. Does my performance looks good ( min 66.2MB/s , max 170.3MB/s , average 130MB/s , acces time 16.9ms ) ?

I have a $5 2-port eSATA expresscard that does RAID 0/1. That's probably the best solution...
G51Jx sata port multiplier?
