e-sata; better Port Multiplier in card or enclosure?
So, am i wrong to assume that as long as purchases will be of 4+ bay enclosures, there is no initial need to spend extra money on a esata card with the PM tech? (i.e I see nonPM enclosures in single and 2 bay formats, but not 4+)
i was going to figure the contrary. A PM card will permit the multiplication of relatively inexpensive non-PM enclosures, thusly saving money.
so, my question finally; anyone forseeing multiple bay enclosures could initially go with a nonPM card?
[edit;
well, i found one at the very least;

i guess that answers my question, except
what happens when the card and the enclosure both have PM tech?]
