Vantec Nexstar 3 esata not working
Posted: Thu Jan 17, 2008 2:22 pm
I recently purchased a Vantec Nexstar 3 (NST-360SU) to use as an eSata QRAID1 with my TS-109 Pro. The drive in the Vantec is a Samsung HD501LJ jumpered to force SATA1 (1.5Gb/s).
In general, when I connect the Vantec to the Qnap, the Qnap eSata starts blinking orange and doesn't stop. The web management tool reports "No disk". However, if I reboot the Qnap, then during bootup the eSata stops blinking and stays steady for a while. If I immediately check the eSata status, it indicates a drive is there, but not the capacity or manufacturer. After short while, the front eSata light on the Qnap starts blinking again and the web manager reports "No disk".
The Vantec connects just fine to my PC via eSata with Windows XP or Knoppix (5.1.1). It also connects just fine to my PC and the Qnap via USB, but I really wanted to use the eSata with the Qnap...
Are there any propects for getting the eSata working?
