I have a USB 3.0 external drive that I'm attaching to the USB port on the front of the server. I'm running ESXi 4 and when I go into V Sphere I can attach the USB drive. However the drive keeps coming detached, not physically, but V Sphere just can't see the drive. I have to physically go down, unplug the USB drive and plug it back in, then I can see it in V Sphere again. I'm wondering if the issue with plugging it into the front USB port? But I don't have an open back USB I can test that theory with. All the USB drives plugged into the back work fine, and we've tried replacing the problem drive with another external USB and still getting the same problem. I'm talking to the server manufacturer, but I wanted to see if anyone had seen this before and it may be perhaps a VMware issue.
