I think this should not be an issue. The USB messages do not seem to be related with the eSATA thing. I have tested the device for the last time and the USB messages were not there. This time the "first" port was occupied. Finally, i guess, this device ST6600 by Stardom/Raidsonic has some "teething problems" and i will send this device back to the seller. (If someone has trouble with this device also. The "symptoms": - Only the first blue led, power on, is active. - The "drive ready leds" are off even though ports are occupied. - In the back of the device are several leds. A blue, a red and a green one are active. May be, there could be a meaning in this. - If you boot Windows XP with this device connected or you plug in the device while Windows XP is running. XP instantly freezes and dies. - Under Linux, the output is the following and unlike to XP the system stays stable.) Thank you, for your ideas..
