2.2.3eSATA

External Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (eSATA) serves as an external interface for SATA technologies. For customers who want fast (up to 1.5Gbit/s), easy- to-use external storage that has advanced features such as S.M.A.R.T. (Self- Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) protection, eSATA may be a good choice.

eSATA devices are not bootable when BIOS is set to RAID mode and are not supported as a part of Virtual Disks when in RAID mode for S100.

To operate eSATA devices in the Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® 4.8 environment, the BIOS mode must be manually switched from default (AHCI mode) to ATA mode.

Table 3. eSATA Modes

Mode	Bootable	Hot-Pluggable	Restrictions
ATA mode	Yes	No

AHCI mode	Yes	Yes	RHEL 4.8 is not supported.

RAID mode (S100	No	No	Linux and Virtualization OS are not
enabled)			supported
