Windows 10: BSOD: INTERNAL_POWER_ERROR related to eSATA enclosure/disks

I have a Mediasonic four-port disk enclosure that only allows hot-swapping disks in eSATA mode (it also supports USB 3, but without the swapping feature). BTW, the USB 3 mode works fine with all my disks. So I bought this eSATA card, which seems to work fine, by which I mean that all the right messages appear during the BIOS pre-boot stage along with the correct disk drive names.

But often when I boot up (into 64-bit Windows 10 Pro 1903), after a while I see the spinning dots stop cold for about 8-10 seconds (which it never does otherwise). Then it continues through the Metro boot loader where I choose my OS, but not long afterwards I see the BSOD in question. This only happens when I have drives inserted into the enclosure in eSATA mode.

Thanks for your time and assistance!

eSATA HDD enclosure (muliple disks) - Does it exist?

Hey Everyone,

I'm going to be doing an upgrade soon and will have five 640GB disks hanging around. I'd like to use this for off site backup.

I'd like an external enclosure that will accommodate 5 drives and connect via a single e-sata port (I'm assuming external power adapter would be required).

RAID isn't necessary. Just the ability to connect multiple drives via a single eSATA. Is this possible? Is there an enclosure that would do this?

Thanks!
