there is no "power" on esata so i think that will not work
-
yes i know but i will use externel power with 4*1 usb adapter. like i use now to provide power for hdd. no one have try this befor?
-
i guess the adapter needs power on esata for working, else they would not write this

i am using hdd connected to esata. the power is provided from 5v usb*4 adapter, i will stay use hdd with this esata to usb because he has both esata and usb. the question is: if i want to add flash usb and i put it on the adapter, will it work? from 1 esata dm500hd 2 devices? is the esata on dm500hd capable to do this? in any case i will buy this and try it. it's only 10euros. i just to know if no one tested this. thank you

let me explane it:
the hdd is connected to this adapter " esata to esata+usb " the power for hdd is provided with externer power
flash usb is connected to 4*1 usb with power 5v
the 4*1 usb is directly connected to " esta to esata+usb"
will dm500hd show all 2 devices? all have power but connected to one Esata.

i think the adapter will need power from esata for converting the signal to usb, but you can try and report here
-
ok, i will do. i need time to buy this. maybe one week or 2. i dont know if a new kernel is needed to. in any case i will test it. Thank you
