Powersupply is 530W for one CPU, three internal SATA drives and one
7900GT. I think this should not be an issue.
The USB messages do not seem to be related with the eSATA thing. I have
tested the device for the last time and the USB messages were not there.
This time the "first" port was occupied. Finally, i guess, this device
ST6600 by Stardom/Raidsonic has some "teething problems" and i will send
this device back to the seller.

(If someone has trouble with this device also. The "symptoms":

- Only the first blue led, power on, is active.
- The "drive ready leds" are off even though ports are occupied.
- In the back of the device are several leds. A blue, a red and a green
one are active. May be, there could be a meaning in this.

- If you boot Windows XP with this device connected or you plug in the
device while Windows XP is running. XP instantly freezes and dies.
- Under Linux, the output is the following and unlike to XP the system
stays stable.)


Thank you, for your ideas..
