MBP w/ eSATA not playing nice..

[Octobot]

I've experienced a couple of kernel panics when I have my eSata connected.
Anyone else have an eSATA connection with their MBP?

I'm thinking it may be Leopard..

For the time being I'm using the firewire800 instead.

What kind of esata connection and drive do you have? I am currently using one from owc and have never experienced any panics. But I am on tiger as well.

Could it be a driver issue or something for your esata pci card?

I'm using a 500GB Lacie d2 Quadra.. and Leopard.
I'm going to see if I can find some newer drivers..

have u tried plugging the lacie drive on another mac computer through esata to see its not the drive's problem or other hardware problems?

good luck

You should get about the same speed via Firew800.

It could be your eSata card? Did you try in 10.4?

No haven't tried either.. though will do. Thanks for the feedback.
