John,
Yes... it is connected to the motherboard. That would have been what I
suspected also that
the disk would show up just as any other disk. Very odd. Perhaps I'll
just wait for 5.3 unless
there is another suggestion.
Side note: I have an amd 6200+ and now an Amd Quad 940. There is
significant improvement in the 940.
Project compile went from 12 seconds down to 9.
Copying 12GIG file went from 8 minutes down to 5.
So now I'm waiting on 5.3 to see if ext4 helps that even more! Any day I
hope.
let me know if there are other things to try for the esata. Have a great
evening.
Jerry
