I brought the eSATA enclosure I have over to a friend. We connected it to his desktop eSATA port and it works. I didn't write down the exact connection details, but it said it was a SCSI drive.
So, a note in my laptop help about the Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology, states: "At this time, the application does not provide support for port multipliers. Devices connected to a port multiplier will not be detected or displayed in the storage system view, unless the devices is connected to port 0 of the port multiplier. These devices will be reported and will behave as if they were directly connected to a port on the system." (Typo's or omissions might be mine as copy/paste did not get the note.) I have a feeling this is the root cause. So now I look for a different eSATA enclosure for my 320GB 7200 RPM SATA drive.
