WD MyBook 1TB esata not detected
Last response: in Storage
Can somebody help me with my esata problem?
I have a MSI P45 Platinum mobo with en esata connection, I also own a WD MyBook 1 TB with esata/1394a/USB connections.
The WD MyBook works fine on FireWire and USB, however, BIOS does not detect the drive via esata.
esata is enabled in BIOS.
I noticed that my esata cable did not quit fit in the WD drive, so I cut back on the sleeve for a better fit.
Would the esata connection make a big difference compaired to FireWire 400?
I have read on other forum that the sustained transfer rate does not exceed 70 GB/s anyway.
Anyone suggestions?

I have a similar problem. I have a MSI x58 Platinum MB with Core i7 920, 6GB DDR3, 2 500GB SATA 2.0 drives, a Radeon 4870 X2, and Windows Vista 64 bit Ultimate Edition. However my BIOS does detect my 1 TB WD MyBook Home Edition, but Vista will not. I have tried switching to AHCI, and installing new SATA/RAID drivers to no avail... help please!
