Here is a link to the manufacturer's web site where you can ask them directly.
http://sabrent.com/#itemID=0§ion=Contact&itemName= It has been my experience that these types of eSATA enclosures are "dumb" devices. This means that there are NO active devices in them and they simply provide a case, SATA to eSATA adapter and power supply. They should support any drive that the chipset on your motherboard supports. This should also include hot swapping, assuming you are using a recent kernel. All the information about manufacturer's name, model number, etc are located in a yellow box at the bottom of the page of the link you provided. Manufactured by: *Sabrent* Warranty provided by: *Sabrent* Limited Warranty: *12 months parts; 12 months labor * Mfg Part No: *EC-ESTK* UPC No: *857161001175* Box Size: ( Length: 8, Width: 10, Depth: 2 ) Shipping Weight: *1.4500 pound(s) *Hope this helps, Jason On Fri, Jul 2, 2010 at 3:07 PM, Michael C.
