Here's the thing...
I have a Bytec SATA drive rack in my pc. I know SATA is hot-swappable, but every single time I plug the drive into the Bytec bay and turn it on, one of my internal 2TB WD Blk Edition drives vanishes. I get the "be boop" like a device disconnection, the drive goes away and the I get the " boo beep" for a connected device and walla...there's my rack drive, but one of my 2TB drives is gone. It shows up in Disk Management, but not in explorer.
I have tried changing drive letters, verifying my AHCI drivers, Google, everything I can think of, to no avail.
My board and stuff for info is as follows:
Motherboard - ASUS M4N98TD-EVO
CPU - AMD 1090T 6 Core Blk Edition
Mem - 8 GB OCZ Obsidian 1600
GPU - 2x EVGA GTX480's SLi
PSU - Thermaltake TR2-1200
Sound Card - Creative Sound Blaster X-FI Platinum Fatality Series
Capture Card - AverMedia HD capture device (don't know model off hand)
CD/DVD - Samsung OEM SATA All-in-One Gig
SATA Rack - Bytec BT-125E with a 200GB Maxtor
HDD - 1 300GB Velociraptor and 2 2TB WD Black Edition (All of these internal)
OS - Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate x64
I am just stumped as to why this is happening. I have the BIOS set to AHCI, the drivers are there in Windows. There are no special requirements as far as I can tell for the motherboard as they are all standard SATA plugs, not like my M4N72-E that has 4 standard and 2 only enabled in AHCI mode (Red standard and the 2 AHCI are Blk). I have not tried hot swapping in that machine yet, but do have a rack in that machine as well, just not in use at the moment.
Anyone on here have any ideas? Keep in mind, even tho I know my way around a puter, I do overlook even the stupidest things, so no suggestion is a dumb suggestion.
Thanks.
