I purchased two external buffalo 1TB drives (not network attached but USB 2.0 or Firewire). I can attach either of two drives and my system sees them fine. But when I attach both of them, the system hands, no drive gets recognized and I usually have to power off my system to bring things back.
The plan was to use one drive as storage and the second as a manual replica for backup and offsite storage purposes but if I can't attach both at the same time.
Is it a problem with the machines USB or Firewire bus structure? I have both USB and Firewire and I tried both with no luck.
Any ideas?
What model buffalo product do you have, also what is the operating system you are using?
It's a 1TB DriveStation Combo TurboUSB (USB 2.0/FireWire, 7,200 RPM - MPN: HDHS10TIU2F):
http://www.buffalotech.com/products/external-drives/drivestation/drivestation-combo-turbousb/
It's attached to a Windows XP SP2 (I don't think I have SP3 on there yet but I have to verify).
I finally managed to get them both attached using USB. I was really focusing on FireWire before. Would FireWire be faster? (I installed the TurboUSB tool so I am using that at the moment).
A friend of mine recommened I use a Firewire card instead of the two Firewire ports available on the system. I was gonna try that next unless someone knows the reason this didn't work.
Thanks.
