Re: [hard drive] USB2 and Firewire ok, but eSATA hard locks said by psafux:ESata is not always hot swappable. You may need to turn the system off and back on before it will recognize the device with ESata hookup. I have it in the BIOS to allow the port that the eSATA adapter from the case to be "eSATA enabled" in BIOS. And I too tried to shut down the computer, turn on the hard drive, connect the drive and then turn it on as well, but this too would cause lockups even in POST. Yes, it would proceed, but it would then be eternally slow and quite frankly just got fed up with it and shut the whole thing off.
So now I don't know which of the two is at fault here..

Davenport, FL | The last BIOS eVGA made for my 680i board was the P33, which I already have IIRC, and was released almost a year ago.

Davenport, FL | There's no other system in the house that has an eSATA port, if that's what you're alluding to. |
