    pardon my ignorance, but i'm looking to purchase a 725, and was wondering if the included esata port was compatible with a dual esata enclosure? apparently these require something called a "port multiplier", but what that is, i have no idea :eek:

    @ fel_ I can't help you with your question.
    Since this tread is for esata I also want to ask something: Anybody make it work with Vista x64? I couldn't make it work with my external Philips HDD. When I tried to connect it - nothing happens. I searched the internet and I found that I need some file from Microsoft. I downloaded it and it worked, but only until I restarted it :( I tried to install it again, but it said that I already have all the files needed. So I couldn't really make it to work... One more thing ... I'm still using SP1 ... I don't have internet on my PC now (I write this form my work).
