eSATA Lag

NickM · 10 Sep 2009 at 15:56

I've just a got an external drive enclosure which causes my computer to freeze and lag every few seconds (music and cursor gets stuck for a second) when connected via eSATA, USB works fine. Problem is I need to use eSATA because the program I'm using to recover the disk seems to only work with eSATA.

Its a Foxconn 9657AA which does use the JMicron controller, I'm running JMicron JMB36X WinDrv R1.17.50 WHQL off the JMicron website which seems to be the latest.

Also running W7 x64 if that makes a difference.

By normal sata ports you mean the internal ones? I'm running a RAID1 array so I think they're all controlled by JMicron.

Gave up on eSATA, using old machine with spare drive slot + network, although it would be nice to have a fix.
