I bought a used Mediasonic Probox 4 bay HDD Enclosure.
My OMV is running on a Dell Optiplex 980 SFF which has an onboard eSATA port.
I hooked up the Probox with a proper eSATA cable to the PC.
I was able to see the 3TB Seagate HDD on the Boot menu, which means the port replicator is getting properly recognized by the motherboard and thus the HDD.
Now when Debian boots up, I got error messages "PMP product ID mismatch". Here is my journalctl snippet.
