 I have a BlacX Duet with two 1.5TB drives in it. 

Try with just one disk attached. 

Has the onboard sata controller/sata card the port multiplier function 
enabled? It seems to be a requirement to get the 2 disks working when 
using the esata port.

 When I connect it via
 USB, both drives show up as SCSI disks and all is well. I'd really like
 SMART support, though, so I want to connect it via eSATA instead. When I
 do, though, I get a series of SATA errors to the console about not being
 able to establish a link and attempting to reset. I have another drive
 connected via the same SATA card, and it works just fine as well
 (including SMART).
 
 Has anyone had any success with connecting to this device via eSATA?
 What am I missing?

Open a console and run tail -f | dmesg then connect the esata external 
disk and put here the output.

Things to try:

1/ Another esata cable
2/ Another case
