Possible for Esata hot swap on MSI P55?

I'm using an esata bracket which connects 2 sata ports from my P55m-GD41 to 2 esata ports since this motherboard doesn't have esata.
Is there any way to do an "eject disk" when an external esata drive is connected?
The method I'm doing right now is to uninstall the drive from device manager.

I found information for the P55-GD80 that says two ports support port multiplier
Where did you find that information?  By whom was it given?  Can you provide a link? 
The thing is, that this is not really a question that should be asked about the board as such but rather about its particular SATA Controller/Controllers.
The eSATA-Port of both the P55-GD65 and the P55-GD80 are controlled by the same type of chipset:  JMicron 363.  The specs for the JMicron 363 are summarized here:

  • Best Portable USM HDD for K450 hot-swap bay

    I have read suggestions for the best portable USM HDD for K430 hot-swap bay, but I'm not sure if the K450 has the exact same hot-swap bay as the K430.  Are the drives suggested for the K430 the same ones that would be best for the K450?  I haven't even received my Lenovo K450 yet. I ordered it on Thursday and it will arrive on Monday Oct. 14, 2013. I just want to understand the hot-swap bay because I thought there was a way I could use a hard drive out of my old computer and put it in an external drive case and plug it right in.  After reading the literature here in the community posts, that doesn't appear to be the purpose of the bay.  I wish it would work that way because I wanted to easily offload some documents that are saved on my 500 GB Western Digital 3.5" hard drive that I would have liked to move to my new computer easily.  My old computer is not working at all anymore, so I can't just drag and drop them from my extra 500 GB drive from that computer onto the new one.
    Solved!

    I purchased this same drive and it works great!!  It is too bad that Lenovo didn't tell me this when I contacted their support team.  It would have saved me a lot of time!!

  • Best Portable USM HDD for K430 hot swap bay?

    Browsed around for awhile and haven't found any products for the bay on front of the K430s we purchased?
    any suggetions? tnxs.

    The Seagate Backup Plus, which comes with a USB 3.0 connector, works fine in the Lenovo front mounted USM bay.  Just remove the USB 3.0 connector and slide it in.  It does not take excessive force, but it is somewhat firm.
    I bought a 1 TB model at Best Buy and it worked fine when using the USB connector but did not work when inserted in the USM bay.  I took it back to the store and tried it in a Lenovo on the floor and it did not work there either.  Best Buy replaced it with another unit which works perfectly.  I keep mine permanently in the USM bay and use it to back up files (using the Win 8 File History feature).  I also keep about 400 GB of video files on the USM drive so that they do take up space on the C: drive.
    I have been very satisfied with mine -- use it in a Lenovo K430.  The Seagate Backup Plus can be found in most online stores which carry external hard drives.  Price is reasonable.

  • TS430 hot swap drive tray options

    I purchased a TS430 without any hard drives and need the drive trays to get it operational. IBM/Lenovo is out of the trays for the hot swap drive bay. There's a long wait 2-3 months to get these parts, either 03X3835 or 03X3696. Found a third party selling these pieces but he's asking $80-85 for each, way too expensive.
    Is there a third party product that'll be compatible instead? Anyone using a tray for another IBM/Lenovo model or just a generic tray that works on TS430? Please let me know. Thanks!

    No 03x3835 in-stock at the IBM Parts Sales number you posted above, possibly months for more; and while I specifically asked about alternative/replacement frus, server tech support (in Atlanta, GA, and seems to be staffed with very few knowledgable people) said there weren't any active ones. Lenovo only sells through the channel, no direct sales for server parts, so presumably one of their distributors (Ingram, Synnex, Supercom, Tech Data, D&H, Hartco) have them... 
    As an authorized reseller, I just brought in a TS430 0441-11U for a customer, but now I cannot find any drive trays for the 8 drives we're using. 
    It seems every time I try and sell/service something Lenovo, I have this 10+ phone call run around trying to get something done that should be easy enough.

  • Does MSI P55-GD65 support eSata hot-plug?

    I believe the title is self-explanatory, but I'll explain anyway..
    I have a MSI P55-GD65 motherboard which has an onboard eSata port. I have a second eSata port in the front plate of my case.. The thing is, that the only way for it to recognize my eSata external hard drive, is if the drive is connected and powered BEFORE I boot my PC. Not very convenient when it comes to portable devices. Is there anything I have to change in the BIOS or any drivers I should install (for Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit) so that I can power on and off my drive while my PC is working?

    Actually, I did some more digging after my post, I figured out how to do it (I tweaked the registry because I had installed Windows 7 with sata mode set to IDE), and now it works fine..
    There's only one issue. My external drive does not appear in the devices I can "safely remove". So I don't know how risky it is to just turn of my HDD while the PC is powered on..

  • MSI 7125 board and Esata drive hot swapping

    Hello. New member with a MSI-7125 board. I have the OEM board that Geeks had. Pretty much the same as the regular 7125. I want to use an external eSATA drive and attach it using a simple eSATA bracket that just connects to the board's internal sata ports, or I will use a PCI controller card. I'm told that either will work, and that I can have hot swapping on either too.  I want to be able to turn on and off the drive without turning off windows. I don't want to use the external drive as my main drive. Can anyone confirm that either interface method will work? I'm supposing the simple bracket might be faster since it will have no PCI bus to go through. Thanks

    I've listed below a couple of sites that you may be intrested in. They offer the option of using eSATA or SATA on the rear plates. Don't confuse them as they use different plugs on the cables.

  • Hot Swap SATA on MSI k8n neo 4 (ms-7125-010)?????

    Does the nForce4 chipset, or Silicon Image SATARAID5 support hot swap sata drives?
    Thanks
    Randy in Florida

    RAID-5 is built for hot-swapping disks, I sure hope/think nVidia's version does.
    For RAID-0 there's no real use for hot-swapping, when one disk breaks down the whole array goes bust - and I don't think they have complicated the implementation because some users may have other disks in their machines and want to be able to run in the meantime. But since the SATA disks themselves are inherently hot-swappable, what you need is to be able to swap the faulty disk for a new one and recreate a new (empty) RAID-0 while losing all the data.
    RAID-1 without hot-swapping doesn't seem so hot, it's for maximum data safety so if one disk goes partially bad you have to be able to turn that off while the mirror continues to work with serving the data. Then you want to get a new one in as quickly as possible, and hopefully it will start recreating the RAID-1 by copying everything from the other disk.

  • MSI P55-GD65 onboard eSata doesn't show Hard Drive..

    Here's the deal..
    I've got  an MSI P55-GD65 board. This board has an onboard eSata port. The thing is, that when I plug my external drive in the onboard eSata board, windows don't recognize the drive. I've even tried powering it on before I turn on the PC, when it boots I get the following message,
    http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/231/p7230163.jpg/
    , showing that the hard drive IS recognized by the controller, but I windows 7 64-bit cannot see it..
    Now, I've gone through the manual a bit, it seems that this board has 2 sata controllers, Intel P55 and JMicron JMB363. And if I get it right, 6 onboard sata ports are controlled by the Intel P55 controller, while 1 onboard sata and 1 onboard eSata are controlled by the JMicron controller.
    As for BIOS settings,
    I've set AHCI on RAID Mode in the "Integrated Peripherals" tab
    http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/851/p7230158.jpg/
    and also AHCI on RAID Mode in the On-Chip ATA Devices sub-menu:
    http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/851/p7230158.jpg/
    I suppose "on-chip controller" refers to the Intel P55 and "extra controller" refers to the JMicron controller, right?
    I've put AHCI cause I want to user eSata hotswap for my external hard drive..
    There's nothing wrong with my drive, if I use the case's USB port instead, the drive is recognized immediately. I also tried the front panel eSata port with the same drive and it works too.. So I guess it has something to do with the JMicron controller..
    Have I done anything wrong with my configuration? I must say that I don't use any of my hard drives in RAID pair or something..
    You can check some of my other settings in the screenshots..
    Thank you

    Yes.
    In Windows, look under Computer Management/Drive Management to see if the drive appears there.  You may have to set it active in Windows and assign a drive letter in order to be able to use it.

  • Hot swap and JSP debugging for Weblogic in exploded format?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to use JDeveloper for JSF development to be deployed to a weblogic server.
    I must say JDeveloper is a great tool for JSF development as none of the free IDE in the market can do what JDeveloper does.
    However, I have a question on hot swap and JSP debugging.
    I have managed to setup JDeveloper to debug my JSF application deploy to my Weblogic server's applications folder in exploded format.
    I can step through the java code.
    However, I didn't manage to do a hot swap and the break point set in the JSF-JSP does not seems to take effect.
    I would appreciate any advice on the problem.
    Thanks.
    Han Ming

    How did you setup the server to handle exploded format? Appreciate the help. Sorry can't help with your question though.
    Thnx.

    I thought yes, more like this on the right says no. Why not take the two devices outside and try.

  • Is hot-swapping safe for all ports on a Mac?

    If your iMac is turned on, according to Apple which ports allow "safe" hot swapping? Does this apply to the MacBook Pro as well?
    Rick

    I think any port on current Macs are considered hot-swappable.
    However, I am personally more paranoid about FireWire ports, because I +blew one out+ on a Power Mac G5. It was the front port, so I often swapped my old iPod, video camera, and other FireWire devices on-the-fly on that port. One time, it did not work. Fortunately, fixed under AppleCare. Since then, I seem to notice more reports about FireWire ports failing (much more than similar failures for USB ports).
    My precaution on my iMac is to use a self-powered FireWire hub for anything that I connect and disconnect often. I use the direct port for an external drive that I keep connected almost all the time. If I do need to connect and disconnect it, I power off the iMac. If it was a MacBook, I would probably use sleep when I connected or disconnected a FireWire device.
