I have a RN104

It lists eSATA expansion port
If you were asking about my external Esata enclosure, I tried a couple including a
4 disk ESATA enclosure (to test it if supported a port multiplier on ESATA) (was not sure how to tell if it worked)
2.5" seagate freeagent goflex ESATA (no ESATA power)
I appreciate your attempt to respond, but I do not understand what you are suggesting. It appears you are listing what I should do to safely remove a working shared external drive. I should "Eject" the "drive" in the UI then unplug the external device.
I am not having problems disconnecting working drives, I am asking questions about what to expect when I hookup new external drives via USB and via ESATA.
