USB/eSATA Difficulties

Post by d.jacobs » Fri Nov 30, 2012 11:48 pm

Reposting this... It seems to have been deleted when the installation forum was heavily pruned, and the problem has not been solved.

I have a 4-disk pool consisting of two pairs of mirrors. The drives are contained in an external enclosure (Mediasonic Probox http://www.amazon.com/Mediasonic-HF2-SU ... B003X26VV4). This enclosure supports either USB3 or eSATA.

My desktop system running 10.8.2 is USB3 enabled and the pool functions quite well and fast.

My Macbook Pro (Early 2011) running 10.8.2 has USB2. The pool functions at expected USB2 speeds when connected via this interface. That is to say: very slow. However, it does import properly and work.

I purchased a CalDigit FASTA-2ex (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005X8 ... hs_product) rather than a USB3 card, after reading somewhere that eSATA expresscards were more stable than USB3 expresscards (and, in some cases, the USB3 expresscards are vendor locked such as the LaCie one).

While I'm reasonably sure the expresscard functioned fine with the pool in the beginning, the pool cannot be mounted via eSATA anymore. It mounts fine with USB2 or 3, and a scrub completed with zero errors. The pool itself appears to be intact and normal. ZEVO refuses to mount it via eSATA.

I do not immediately have another eSATA device to test. I should be able to pull the drives this weekend, place a new drive or two into the enclosure, and test to see if I can create a pool and keep it working while moving it between eSATA/USB. Need to move some data first to open up drive space on my testing pair.

ExpressCard:

  Type:   AHCI Controller
  Driver Installed:   Yes
  MSI:   Yes
  Bus:   PCI
  Slot:   ExpressCard
  Vendor ID:   0x1b4b
  Device ID:   0x9123
  Subsystem Vendor ID:   0x1b4b
  Subsystem ID:   0x9123
  Revision ID:   0x0011
  Link Width:   x1
  Link Speed:   5.0 GT/s


I believe the above IDs identify this as a Marvell chip, likely a 88se9123.

How can I help you help me fix this?
