G-RAID (Removable) randomly ejects itself when on eSATA

My G-RAID is set as RAID 0 on a PC with Windows 10 Pro 64. Drives formated NTFS.
I don’t get the problem with a USB 3 connection.

I’m wondering if the unit needs a eSATA port with port multiplier.

Thanks

A port multiplier wouldn’t be necessary. Is the eSATA connection built into your motherboard or is it a card you have separately?

Sometimes its due to the interface drivers not being installed fully. A lot of motherboards require chipset installs for ports like eSATA to function properly so you can check that. But also you’d get the same performance over USB 3.0 as you would eSATA.
