Does the Envy 17 have Port Multiplier for eSATA?

I'm looking at buying a multiple bay drive enclosure like this or this. They both support USB or eSATA host connections, but naturally you get faster speeds with eSATA, but for the computer to recognize all drives, it says I need to have Port Multiplier. I've looked and looked and looked and can't really find anywhere that says whether the 17 does or doesn't. I'd also rather have a software controller rather than a hardware. Any help?
Edit: It has to be a FIS-based switching PM also

eSATA III is actually faster than USB 3.0, and that's assuming the enclosure I'm buying even has USB 3.0. On top of that, 3.0 doesn't even have that great of transfer speed. The fastest write I've had with my external HDD is around 90 Mb/s

  • Does 760ga-p43 (fx) supports port multiplier for sata?

    1) I have a 760ga-p43 (fx) and I couldn`t find anywhere if it supports port multiplier for sata.
    Does someone have any idea?
    2) I tried a delock 70146 and I couldn`t make it see also the sata on motherboards and the sata on the pci card. For lack of information on that msi "user guide" I tried any combination on AHCI, ide and sata, but it was a blind trying. It would be great a little help on what to look for.
    Thanks,

  • Does the MacBook Air have a slot for a lock?

    My current MacBook has a slot in which I can insert a lock to protect the computer in a public location (a library, for example).
    Does the MacBook Air have the same slot?
    Thanks.

    Unfortunately the MBA is too thin for the Kensington lock. I've seen a couple solutions but they aren't inexpensive. I've seen this one and some of these. I recommend Prey for after the fact.

  • Does the macbook pro have an equalizer for streaming pandora

    I'm new to the world of Macbook's and was wanting to know if there was an equalizer or some sound settings I could use when I am listening to Pandora radio?

    I found these instructions in German for a system wide EQ on your Mac: http://www.maclife.de/mac/software/betriebssystem/os-x-systemweiten-equalizer-ei nrichten-und-verwenden
    If you don't understand German and online translation tools don't do the job, this is the short version*:
    You download two programs:
    - An open source program called soundflower (can be found on google code)
    - Apple's AU Lab (can be downloaded here after creating a free developer's account)
    After installing soundflower (reboot required), go to your system preferences -> sound. Under 'Output' select Soundflower (2ch). This routes all system sounds through soundflower.
    Next install AU Lab. Turn the system volume up to max, then open AU Lab. In the window that opens, under 'Factory Configurations' select 'Stereo In/Stereo Out'. Under 'Input Settings' you select 'Soundflower (2ch)', under 'Output Settings' you select Built-in Output. This makes all sounds from Soundflower go through AU Lab, and then send them back to your system output.
    Click 'Create Document', the window will close and a new window with some controls will appear. Under 'Audio 1' select 'Effects' -> 'Apple' -> 'AUGraphicEQ'. Adjust as you wish. Save the settings somewhere.
    You can reopen these settings by going to preferences in AU Lab, under 'Documents'.
    IMPORTANT: If you close AU Lab now, your system will remain silent. This can be changed by simply selecting your original audio output in the system preferences for sound.
    *Finally, the disclaimer: I take no responsibility for any damage you may occur upon following these instructions. I simply made a short version of the instructions in German that are linked above. It's not my idea, and I do not fully understand everything here either, but I use it and it's great for stuff like spotify. Not sure if this is the solution to your BT problem. For everyone else that does not have or want Boom, this works well.

  • Does the Music Store have a place for release dates on TV shows and videos?

    Just wondering if they will have any idea when they will get new episodes of various shows they carry.I have heard it takes 24 hours for them to get them but I have come across about five shows that have episodes that are well over 72 hours and still not released.
    Do they have a guide for release dates?Or a website that shows when they will carry certain episodes of shows?

    yeah, you're right. I got an email yesturday from iTunes stating pretty much just that. I complained that they weren't getting my SG1 and SGA shows up on time. Anyway, I was an idiot for blasting them. We pay iTunes bills...not some advertisers...so they will deff get the shows out to us when they get them from the studios. Moreover, the email stated that they'll let sci fi (i'm assuming that's the network we're talking about here?) know to send those recent epps. BTW, I also posted this info on the sci fi board.

    Hi,
    the onboard eSATA port is hosted by a JMicron JMB362 Chipset, which (according to the JMicron product specifications) supports the following:

  • Why does the software update say that drivers for my printers are not available? I have the drivers installed from the CD but can't add the printer because it wants to go through software update.

    I have the latest operating system, but can't get my printers added. Why does the software update say that drivers for my printers are not available? I have the drivers installed from the CD but can't add the printer because it wants to go through software update.

    It's pretty difficult to offer suggestions when you say nothing about your Mac, the version of Mac OS it's running, or the models of printers you have. This forum, however, is intended for questions about old, pre-G3 hardware, so unless you are asking about an very old Mac, this is not the forum where you'll be most likely to get help with your problem. I'd suggest you ask this question in the forum for your model of Mac or version of Mac OS X it's running. You'll be more likely to get assistance there, assuming you provide sufficient detail for anyone to make a diagnosis of the problem.
    Regards.

  • I started to have connectivity issues with a linksys router.  The linksys rep suggested ...Check from Apple if they have some particular ports for the Apple TV that we might need to open on the router, anyone have any suggestions for this?

  • HT1665 Does the Otter hard plastic belt holder for the iPhone 5 have a warranty by Apple?

    Does the Otter hard plastic belt holder for the iPhone 5 have a warranty by Apple?

    No, it is made by Otter.  I learned that Otter calls it a "Holster Accessory Apple Defender IPhone."  Its also called a IPhone belt clip.  It came with the IPhone 5 when I purchased it.  When I asked about a replacement at an electronic store, they told me that Apple might have a warranty on it.  I couldn't find anything on the Apple Web site.  So the question was:  does Apple have a warranty for the clip?

  • Does Apple, or the App Store, have a replacement for my disintegrating iGoogle homepage?

    Does Apple, or the App Store, have a replacement for my disintegrating iGoogle homepage?  I like the lists of widget feeds and don't like the icons in chrome's replacement of igoogle.

         Thanks for your suggestion.  I searched, found Protopage and am really liking it. I don't mind paying their subscription fee to banish ads and help them keep the project going. Funny thing is, I used to think one of these days igoogle would start charging me and, because I was so dependent on it, I'd pay. It never occurred to me that it would go away, just that I would find it expensive.

  • Does the  21inch iMac have video-in?

    I'm going off to college soon, and seeing as I already have an iPad, I want to get iMac for work while in my dorm and also would like to use it as a monitor to plug my ps3 into. Does the 21in iMac have a video-in port so I could do this? Would I have to buy extra adaptors?

    You can just buy something like this. But it looks like it's for the 27" only.
