Yes, it is a Silicon Image (Sil5744) box.
Thanks for this explanation.
Now I am stuck with this box.
BIG mode shows these errors and I will not trust a system showing that
many errors on startup.
JBOD mode shows no errors but requires PMP to see both HDDs which my
SATA controller does not support. Maybe I can find an eSATA Express Card
with PMP support that works in Linux.
Regards, Peter.
