I apologies if this is the wrong place for this I wasn't sure where else it would go.

Ok Here is my set up.

2x 1.5 TB Segate HDD --> Thermal Take BlacX Duet --> Esata cable --> Tempo eSata ExpressCard/34 --> 17" MPB i7


OK Here is the problem I'm experiencing.

I have the two hard-drives set as a Mirror and When I turn on my mac and the dock sometimes only one drive will mount. Now this is extremely bad for me because if I don't catch this before I do any video work, any changes, whether its importing more footage into the mirror or making changes to a timeline thats saved into the mirror, those changes wont take, so when I restart my mac any changes I made or footage I imported don't exist anymore.

Now obviously it shouldn't be doing this and something is faulty but my question is what is causing the problems? The mac, expresscard, HDD dock?

I think its the Dock but my uncle seems to think its something else.

What do you guys think?
