Has anyone gone as far as connecting 4 of these units to one system. Although the host adapter only has 2 ports is it possible to have two cards in one system or use through a PCIe expander such as Dulce or Magma. If possible will it allow for Raid 5/6 across all 4 enclosures. I've sent an email to G-tech but have not received any sort of response, any feedback or brave sole who has taken the plunge in pursing this challenge will be greatly appreciative. Thanks You

I've set up a G-Speed eS Pro XL12 (which has an internal SAS expander). This is similar to having three G-Speed eS Pro enclosures with a SAS expander. So while I haven't tried your specific setup, I am confident that it will work with a compatible expander.
If you haven't purchased the G-Speed eS Pro units yet, would you consider getting an XL12 or XL16 version instead? While it may not be less expensive, it is more robust with redundant PSUs.
