■ A connected eSATA device may not be recognized if it is connected to

device and then reconnect the device while the computer is turned on.
■ If you connect an eSATA device after the computer has already been
turned on, it will take about ten seconds for it to be recognized by the
computer.
Do not attempt to disconnect and reconnect the drive before this period
has elapsed.
