Windows 10: E-SATA Observations

Ok I think this is some valuable information that needs to be out there.
As this is what I encountered with my machine.
I don't know if all machines will do the same but this is what happened for me.
Just my 2 cents worth.. *Smile

A while ago there was a discussion going as the weather or not one had to steady safely remove your flash drives and external storage drives every time you want to power down/remove them.

The work around was this so we wouldn't need to 'safely remove':




But I found out you don't want to do that to E-SATA drives as this is the result, USB1 transfer rate: *Sad




I went and re-enabled the 'safely remove' feature for the E-SATA drives only. As it seems USB isn't affected this way:




And we are back to good transfer rates once more: *chuckle



And yes the E-SATA dives are self-powered.

Just my 2 cents. *Cool

E-sata connections not working.

Another update, after replacing the connection with a USB instead of the E-sata, the driver will appear in the Windows Explorer. However Win10 continue to display the error message that the Bootmanager is missing AND/OR "there is no operating system detected".

Will someone ever going to be able to help?

 

E-sata connections not working.

An update since last post:

I'm sorry to inform that none of the options given above correct the issue.

My E-sata connections continue to NOT appear in my list of devices nor in the Windows Explorer.

Further more after conducting an "elimination" approach of connecting other HDDs one at a time, it's clear that E-sata is causing the other boot problem reported on my other question posted here.
