Driver for PCI RAID Controller

I have a Lacie 2TB drive that was connected via eSATA. It was working fine until I updated to Snow Leopard. Now it says the driver is not installed and will not recognize the drive. Here's the info-

Type: Other Mass Storage Controller
Driver Installed: No
Bus: PCI
Slot: Slot-3
Vendor ID: 0x1095
Device ID: 0x3132
Subsystem Vendor ID: 0x1095
Subsystem ID: 0x3132
Revision ID: 0x0001
Link Width: x1
Link Speed: 2.5 GT/s

Is there a quick fix or download to solve this driver issue? Thanks,

See if LaCie has firmware update.

As for LaCie PCIe card, if that is what you have, again, talk to them and look for one.

Personally, I think there are other products.

@yako001 - I too am having issues with an SIL3132 based eSATA ExpressCard adapter. The only problem with the firmware update that you reference is that it doesn't support RAID. It seems that Silicon Image - the maker of the SIL3132 chip - has yet to upgrade the RAID version of the firmware.
