Hi I decided to install an external drive bay with an eSATA connection.
The bay is an OWC Mercury Elite dual bay.
I am trying to install a NewerTEch eSATA Raid controller with much frustration.
When the card is installed it is recognised under Mac Hardware correctly - but without a driver.
Installing the provided Newetech driver CD OSX driver /software causes an installation error on El Capitan 10.11.6
See screenshots below:
I tried downloading a driver rom the manufacturers site - with the same result.
I tried connecting an external drive via eSATA but could not see the drive
Is anyone having similar problems - with this card which is sold by OWC and well reviewed.
it appears the driver version is not compatible with current MAC software.
Advice appreciated.
