Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 RE: ESATA Port Multiplier w/FIS-based switching

[gigaclasus]

Help!

Trying to determine whether or not the ESATA controller in the Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 supports: "Port Multiplier w/FIS-based switching"?

Thanks in advance!

Everything later then P35 is without Port Multiplier support, because it is not compatible with RST Rapid Storage Tech drivers. So no the eSata port does not support Port Multiplier w/FIS-based switching in windows with windows drivers, because the drivers support RST.

You would have to use an add-in card with PMP.

The ESATA is ran off of the Marvell controller on the UD4-B3, if that would work for this scenario.

for the UD3H the eSATA is run of the Intel Z68 PCH its SATA3GB/S
