DM500HD eSATA HDD problem

27 October 2013 - 16:33

Hello everybody,

I recently bought Fantec DB-ALU3e 1TB external hdd with eSata and USB ports. I tried formatting it in NTFS format but the DM doesn't recognize it (I previously used CoolerMaster hdd box with 1.5TB sata WD hdd in it, also in NTFS format and it was working fine).

I tried initializing/formatting directly from the DM in Ext3 format and also the same thing from PC with Mini Tool Partition Wizard and mounting it on Win7 with Ext2 Volume Manager. The format went ok, I copied some movies (mkv format) on it, connected via eSata onto DM, it now recognizes it, plays the movie for about 30 sec or 1 min and blocks, stops the movie and again it doesn't recognize the hdd. When I turn off and again on the hdd it happens the same... It happens the same also in Ext4 format.

I tried also in FAT format and it doesn't recognize it.

Please help, I'm desperate smile.gif
