So been working on testing/wiping some old drives lately and was dealing with hot swap apparently not working with a Startech eSata/USB3 dock. I was usually having to power off and on my computer for a different drive to show up.
Works great with USB3, but not near as fast.
Same problem with a I/O Flex Magic Bridge adapter as well.
So, once I got done with the SATA drives, I decided to pull out one of my antique Abit Seriallel adapters and give it a try.
Works like a charm every time so far with the eSata port on my computer.
How's that for ancient hardware working way better than new hardware.
Sometimes I think that engineering has taken a nosedive in the last decade or so.
