I hate to point out the obvious, but can you hook this drive directly to a SATA port on the machine? That way you can get direct access. It could be a problem with the partitioning.
SATA is not intended for hot-plugging. eSATA (external SATA) does support it. If the drive and system have eSATA connectivity, then it's an option, as would be FireWire
However, whether a drive is connected by SATA, eSATA, USB, FireWire, SCSI, SAS or IDE / ATA, it is still and equally "directly" connected.
Maybe re "direct access" he's thinking about the throttled throughput from the interposed USB adapter to which the SATA device is directly attached. I certainly don't normally think of an SATA device installed into some USB convenience as "directly" connected. I just can't think of an SATA device not "directly" connected to an ATA port on motherboard or PCI ATA card as being "directly" connected. -- "A fool gives full vent to his anger, but a wise man keeps himself under control."
