Subject: [CGUYS] esata
I just hooked up a new 500 gig esata II drive to my vista 64 box. I have
the correct driver installed but the drive isn't showing up in the list
for
drives available to be safely removed. Am I missing a setting? Perhaps a
BIOS setting? RAID is not enabled on the box.
SATA (and by extension eSATA) are expected (by applications and the
operating system) to act like a PATA drive... which is typically available
from boot to shut down. Yes, you can 'hot swap' all of these drives if you
use a RAID configuration and a RAID controller, but that is not what Mike
intends to do here. I think Mike wants the ability to put a completely
different data volume on the same eSATA port without rebooting.
