Hi

Having an issue with my internal USB card and just wondered if anybody has come across a similar thing?

Basically, I installed a Mac compatible internal USB Card into my 2008 Intel MacPro (Allegro USB PCIe). The card works fine and runs all my external HDD's; However, when the Mac goes into standby, it loses the external HDD's. So when I awaken the Mac, I'm greeted with the 'Device Removal' message.

When I ran the HDD's off my cheap USB Hub, it used to retain the HDD's and not remove them, so when I awoke the the system they were still there.

Anybody know of a work around for the internal card? I'm concerned I'm going to accidentally corrupt the external HDD's and don't wan to have to eject them every time I put the Mac into standby.

Cheers
Christian

The problem could be simply that the card isn't compatible with those drives. The card can read and write to them, but it has a hard time when it goes into sleep mode.
