there is only 1 power switch for entire unit. No individual power switches for each drive

There is only one power switch. You could pull the drives out just slightly, so they are disconnected, but that's not what you're looking for. I don't know if they have a product with the feature you're looking for.

It has a main power switch in the back to turn off all the devices at once. If you are planning on removing the devices on occasion, it is very difficult and very hard to pull them out. I returned the unit and purchased the following unit. It is hot swap able and it allows you to remove the drives at ease at the push of a button. This way you can turn them off individually at the push of a button. Let me know if you have any other questions.

The power switch on the unit controls all 4 at once. No option to power drives individually. I don't know of any Sans digital product that does. You can spin drives down through software and pull them individually.

I have the 2 bay case and the power supply handles both drives all the time. There is no selective power options either, it powers all drives in the case.

Not to be too insulting, but have you made sure it's on? It does have a small "on" button, unlike some other drives that don't have an on/off switch.

"Drive Only" is a bare hard drive. A "resellers kit" contains the drive, SATA cable, etc.

Mine was just a drive in a box. However, Seagate drivers are online with good support, especially Seagate Tools, which is why I prefer this brand.

The enclosure does not have any power management features, just an on-off power switch. If your operating system supports it, it can spin down the drive.

I have the Wd 4tb ext. HD and it is always on. It does go into a sleep mode when the computer remains on. I have plugged in via USB and it powers off when my computer is powered off. You should know that when it is in sleep mode, the front light blinks slow. When in use, the light blinks rapidly. I had to contact WD because I thought the blinking indicated an error. This was not an error, just the way the HD functions. Hope this helps you, good luck.

This device is simply a sata switch. It allows you to power on/off individual sata hard drives as needed. Why not just run a virtual machine within your primary OS. ? That would allow you to run two OS' s at the same time.

The one I received didn't have that button. But I'd assume it was a one button backup that worked only with the software they send along with it. Either that or a drive switch button to switch between drives of you plug in more than one. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Hi, Yes there is another bay for a 2nd Hard drive. There is also another for a 2nd CD/DVD player. Connectors from power supply for 2nd devices already in place. IDE Cable needed for additional devices, the hard drive requires cable with a 90 degree connector on one end. Hope this helps. :-)

Its better than that....you have 2 drive bays available from the front of the machine that allow hot swapping of hard drives and normal use or RAID configuration. Wicked.....

B. Meerdink, neither of the two information you brought are backed by the links you posted.I've been searching the internet for the same info D. Wong wants, I'm about sure there is no document on WD's website that will state which is the internal drive interface of "My Passport Essential" products. This is something only reviewers who have opened their "My Passport Essential" drives can tell us. Do you happen to own one of those? Have you opened it up?? Has anyone out there?
