At a thunderbolt Limit of 4x (for copper) I wouldn’t be surprised if esata on top of everything else was just too much bandwidth.

Most esata barely reaches the 3 or 6 Gb limit.

USB3 is 5Gb and there’s three of them.

I can’t imagine it’s a bandwidth problem considering thunderbolt is 2 10Gb pipes and already has 2,4,8, and 10Gb storage adapters for it.

eSata is chump change.

My best guess is a driver issue as everything connected to Thunderbolt needs to be “thunderbolt aware”.
