| Rampage ii gene esata Anyone have the Rampage II Gene and are using the ESATA port? I am wondering if the hot plug and port multiplier functions work with the onboard JMB363 chip. I currently have a SIL3132 host controller board and an Addonics AD5SAPM 5 port multiplier card in an external drive bay. I have a SATA Bluray drive on channel 0 and 4 hot plug hard drives in removable drive bays on the rest of the channels. I plug in the hard drives whenever I need them - recording movies, TV, etc, and am not running them all of the time. Any info would be appreciated! |

| Re: Rampage ii gene esata Well, just in case someone else needs to know, the JMB363 chip supports hot plug. I set it up as AHCI in the bios, but had to use a third party software called Hotswap!. |

| Re: Rampage ii gene esata AHCI won't work in RAID only single drives' JMB363 chip will work with RAID/e-SATA. But to reiterate not AHCI.....

| Re: Rampage ii gene esata Skully, I don't understand. How does AHCI mode work? I thought you had to enable it in order for the advanced options such as hot swap, etc. as well as RAID to work. |

AHCI, RAID, IDE....and AHCI...IDE...work only with single drives. JMB363 controller chip in IDE mode or AHCI will work along with a RAID controller. But when I use AHCI mode on the JMB363 controller chip the e-SATA drive is not reconized. JMB363 controller chip in IDE mode e-SATA drive is reconized. Why it works this way, I don't know..  Maybe e-SATA, or the JMB363 controller chip RAID only works in Raid...ya turn on RAID in the bios. Its late here half a sleep me/hope I didn't confuse ya.

| Re: Rampage ii gene esata Mine works in AHCI mode with single drives being picked up. I am going through a SIL3132 PM card - might be the difference? |

| Re: Rampage ii gene esata Oops, should have read my original post. The drives are connected to a AD5SAPM 5 port multiplier card which is connected to the JMB363 ESATA port. All 5 devices are picked up as single drives and all are hot pluggable - with the HOTSWAP! software. |
