Please excuse if this has been asked but I have searched but have been unable to find an answer to this question.
I have an external Fantom 2TB drive I intend to use for my server backups. This drive can connect via USB or eSATA.
When I connect via USB and make it a backup drive in WHS, I get a temporary removal option, which is what I want so I can easily remove the drive and store in a secure location when not in use. It also shows up in Server Storage Location as external (USB).
When I do the same via eSATA inrerface, the temporary removel option is not active and the only choice is to totally remove it as a backup drive. It also shows up as unknown in Server Storage Location even before I have aded the drive as a backup drive.
Is the temporary removal option just not supported with the eSATA interface or am I doing something wrong here? Is there a way I can make it show as external (eSATA)?
eSATA is sooo much faster and I would prefer to use it, if possible.
Thanks for any wisdom you can provide.
