Re: Windows XP and eSATA

Hi
I have some problem of this type too.
I have ASUS P5KR mobo, E8400, 2 GB DDR2, Geforce 8800GT 512MB from eVGA, 2 Seagate ES 500GB HDD, 2 Seagate 320 GB HDD
I put one of the 320 GB HDDs into an external eSATA enclosure - (some made by Antec, something called MX1 I thinik) and, if I use the dedicated eSATA connector, I keep geting BSOD with errors from either the iastor driver, or the jgogo driver.
The dedicated eSATA is provided by JMicron JMB363 - and I consider it to be crappy.
In order to make the external eSATA enclosure work with my system, I had to use one SATA-to-eSATA bracket that came with the enclosure, and connect the SATA connector of the bracket into one of the ICH9R SATA connectors, and so, I connected my external drive straight to the Intel SATA controller.
And this way it performs well, with constant speeds of about 50 MB/sec, compared to the .... about 22 MB/sec when using USB2 connection.
Speaking of power supplies, I have a Rasurbo DLP-535.
