Since the 1v4 has four internal ports and no external ports I assume
you're running a internal cable outside as a kludge for eSATA? This
won't work because internal SATA cables are unshielded and eSATA
requires a different cable that is shielded. The plugs for SATA and
eSATA are also different, so if you're using an internal SATA port for
an external eSATA connection it won't work. You'll need to get a real
eSATA card. I have the Seritek 1v2+2 which has two internal and two
external ports.
If you already have a Seritek card with an external port:
Check the firmware.
Seritek cards don't support a rarely used feature called "SSC" (spread
spectrum clocking). On the WD HDs this feature is normally disabled
and should work with the Seritek card, but it's set via a jumper, and
if for some reason the jumper was set then the HD wouldn't work.
