Re-install the driver - this works for me. I have two eSATA external drives and now they work perfectly. You'll notice that you have no driver (anymore) in Sys Pref, and once you re-install the SI13132 driver everything is cool.

Reinstalling the drivers is NOT the answer. They are removed by Apple for good reason to stop kernal panics.

May be you're right, but so far I never had ker.panics. I can always remove them when needed but so far it has worked for me ! ??

I am using the Sonnet E2P card and when I verify with disk utility I get errors under Snow Leopard. If you continue to use these outdated drivers you run the risk of corrupting the data. This would be a disaster.
Sonnet have indicated that the drivers will be updated in October but ONLY for the 32 bit kernel. Hopeless.

I'm not using Sonnet. I'm using a card from G-Technology. When I run disk utilities (under Snow Leopard), there are no errors or messages. I don't know Beatrice, may be there'll be problems later on, or may be not, but so far it has worked good for me.
