eSATA Connection
For best performance and compatibility with Windows Server and Linux,
connect the drive to an eSATA host adapter or a built-in external eSATA
connection. Connect the drive to USB if a supported eSATA connection is not
available.
1. Verify eSATA drivers are properly installed.
NOTE: You do not need to install special drivers for the SoloPRO hard
drive. It is supported by the drivers included with the eSATA host
adapter or built-in eSATA connection.
2. Shut down the computer.
NOTE: Your eSATA interface may NOT be hot plug compatible. Shutting
down the computer before connecting, powering-on or disconnecting
the drive will make sure the SoloPRO mounts properly on your
computer.
