Hello, I'm looking to get some feedback on personal experiences of eSATA drives, enclosures and how-to's.
I found what felt like a sweet deal. Sony Vaio E Series Laptop 17" 1600x900 Display Intel Core i3 370M 2.4 GHz Dual Core, 4 Threads, Hardware Virtualization ATI Radeon 512 MB Dedicated Video adapter 500 GB 5400 RPM 4 GB RAM (already upgraded to 8 GB) Blu-ray and DVD Burner 3 USB 1 USB/eSATA Memory Stick/SD ExpressCard HDMI VGA 10/100/1000 Ethernet Wireless B/G/N Bluetooth Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OS Room in the drive compartment to add a second drive, additional connecting hardware needed. So, that aside, I connected an Acomdata drive enclosure to the system this morning on the eSATA port. Nothing happened. Connected power to the drive externally, drive spun up, nothing on the eSATA port. Windows 7 doesn't detect anything. Nothing in the BIOS suggesting I need to make a change. Restarted Windows 7 with the eSATA drive spinning and connected, still nothing. I only had a borrowed cable, and there was only one around here this morning. So, what might I be needing to check to determine if the laptop needs to go back, or the drive enclosure is just cheap. Thanks, Tracy _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/001501cbadbc$12323bd0$3696b3...@com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
