I'm having difficulty getting my Pogoplug Pro to connect to my eSata hard drive enclosure.
This is my enclosure:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6817182179
I am connecting with a Sata to eSata bracket and then regular eSata cables. I have tried two cables, and only have the one bracket.
All the disks I have tried work when directly plugged into it with internal sata connectors.
Likewise the enclosure works on my Windows 7 machine using both the bracket plugged into Sata ports and the integrated eSata connector.
I have tried upping the power supply from the 2 amp output that came with it to the 2.5 amp that successfully powers the drives when using just a Sata cable.
After SSHing into the device, I follow the steps in the install guide to put the /usr/(s)bin folders into the path and stop the Pogoplug services.
Then I run:
fdisk -l | grep "^Disk" | cut -f 1 -d ',' | cut -f 3- -d '/'
to see if anything is found. There's just nothing when plugged in eSata.
Do I need to chalk it up to an incompatible enclosure bridge? Or is there anything I can try such as boot delays to see if it's just additional spin up time causing a timeout or something? Anything?
