New Ultra 4 RNDU400 and 3TB Drives
Hi, Thanks to the forum members I have finally decided to buy the Ultra 4 RNDU4000 (4-bay). I also purchased 2 3TB drives by Seagate. From the HCL: Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 ST3000DM001 3 TB ...
I hook up the adapter to the drive (w/ the switch off). Then I attach the Sata-to-USB cable, then plug it into the USB port. At this time, the red light on the adapter comes on. Then I turn the switch on the adapter's power supply to ON.
Uh-oh... as I was typing the above steps and doing it, I was surprised to see the notification from the system tray that the device driver has been installed and device is ready for use. This never happened before. Was it because of the IDE drive I tested earlier that caused the adapter to "come alive"? Can't tell.
The harddrive doesn't appear in My Computer though, as you mentioned above. So I will run SeaTools which earlier (since yesterday and including the windows disk mgmt utility) never saw.
Hmmm... I guess I should now proceed to updating the firmware which I saw on SeaTools as CC4B. The latest I think is CC4H.
Thanks for staying on my case. I really can't say why computers act the way they do but I believe at times that these things have a mind of their own. :-)
