Hi guys :).Will this "system" work if I connect it?
I want to connect multiple SATA Hard Drives to SATA multiplier (something like this http://www.techpowerup.com/img/13-12-18/Addonics_6G_Rack_Mount_01.jpg) and then instead connecting it to PC normally with eSATA cable connect it through eSATA --> USB adapter (http://shop.convar.com/353-thickbox/esata-usb-2-adapter.jpg).
Will this work?

Sorry for my bad English and (maybe) for choosing wrong category.

Ok.Now I'm not too lazy xD .I want to make small box out of some material (wood,plastic or metal it doesn't matter) and put there small power supply,couple of 2.5 SATA Hard drives,SATA multiplier (like this http://www.techpowerup.com/img/13-12-18/Addonics_6G_Rack_Mount_01.jpg) ,eSATA to USB adapter and a power switch.
It would be something like HDD Tower.
I'm just interested would that work?Connecting 5 SATA HDDs to SATA multiplier that gives data output on eSATA and then connecting them to PC with eSATA to USB adapter.

I think it will work, (though i'm not 100% sure all the drives will show up) but it will be somewhat slow.
