All Auction Buy It Now. RAID 1 Mirror allows data to be written at the same time to two drives for the highest level of data safety and redundancy. See later post above. I doubt many readers are using it but just a FYI on those that are. Then, if I power down the card, pull it out, and re-insert it, it will work without any trouble at all.

Each type of hard drive is designed to work specifically in either a desktop computer environment, or connected to a RAID controller hardware or software-based. I installed the SI beta linked above. F1’s may be shipping with even later firmware now. Also, if I let the drive spin down I’m in the same boat.
As soon as I unplug the card, all of my problems magically disappear. AC adapter for USB bus power. Also no response from Sonnet client service about this development. I was hoping this would be fixed by now but wasn’t in The Voyager advertises hot-swap capability, but this is not available when using the eSATA interface — the Mac must be powered off before adding or removing a drive.
