I just bought the quad interface WD My Book 500GB. I would like to use this storage on 2 different computers. It has eSATA, USB, and firewire. I would like to use it with eSATA on one computer and USB on the other, but would like to do it at the same time. As of now, I am running eSATA and then plug in the USB. The USB is inactive. In the rare occasions it is found on my USB connection, the eSATA goes dead. So my question is if you guys know of a hack or other way of making both interfaces work at the same time.
