I/OError via eSATA on DVD+R only, DVD-R is fine

[Emulgator]

Win7U64SP1 Notebook, ImgBurn 2.5.8.0, 4 optical drives in total

1 internal BD-RE (UJ-240)

Dawicontrol ExpressCard (SiI3132) to 2x eSATA  (1 used for external writers)->

Port Multiplier box 1x eSATA to 4x eSATA

3 eSATA cables to 3 external writers:

2x DVD+-RW NEC 3520 (each with eSATA to PATA plug-on board in external enclosure)

1x BD-DE Pioneer BDR-208 native SATA via eSATA in external enclosure.

All 4 drives write DVD-R and DVD+R DL without problems.

DVD+R can be written only on the notebook's internal drive (UJ-240)

DVD+R on all 3 external drives:

Shortly after lead-in writing is attempted these report I/O Error, device removal, anything and abort.

The NEC drives say they would finalise and write nothing (disc is still blank),

the BDR-208 says he would finalise and indeed wastes the disc writing an estimated 1GB track.

Same problem without the port multiplier? I.e. Just one drive at a time.

 

It's erroring out after about 10 seconds so that's probably just something the controller card or multiplier is doing. The program sets a much longer timeout as optical drives need that - it's being ignored. Maybe a firmware or driver update for the card would help?
