Thank you for the reply. Yes, SAS would work but that's quite the investment for my little 6tb Plex/BI environment. I think the wife wouldn't let that one happen anyways. Any brand of Mavell or Asmedia chipset cards? I picked Startech because their website appears to be well done and it actually has drivers.

I don't know if I have bad luck or what but I've had a heck of a time with eSATA. I currently have the ASMedia 1061 based card (https://www.startech.com/Cards-Adapters/HDD-Controllers/SATA-Cards/2-Port-PCI-Express-SATA-6-Gbps-eSATA-Controller-Card~PEXESAT322I) and it was working great for about 2 weeks but now i'm getting random drives going offline. A simple reboot fixes the issue but i'm about to go back to USB3.0 because it just seems to never have issues for me. Prior to this card I had one with the Marvell 88SE9120 chipset.

My Amazon.com blinders were on. Looks like the Orico is cheaper than I thought on Newegg. Might just pull the trigger on one soon.

Any thoughts on this? http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00V5ONPAW I'm a little afraid of the MediaSonic boxes with all the bad reviews and you saying that the power supplies die. The Orico looks good but is a bit pricey (having kids so expensive!). Maybe the Icy Dock is the sweet spot?

I believe that another product would suite your needs better here. BitTorrent Sync would do what your asking and it's free. I use it to backup my server to a friend's house and to backup my cell phone photos and haven't had an issue with it yet.

Where can we get this latest build?
