Just updated to Yosemite and External G Technology RAID Drive ESATA will not mount. I can't see the Drive in Utilities as well. Checked cables and the drive was working before the update. Any help? I am using a Tower Early 2009 Mac Pro Dual Quad Core.
I have a similar problem. What do you use as a raid controller? I use a Highpoint Rocketraid 2314, and it's no longer showing up in my system information. Drivers are usually built in to the OS, never had this issue before.
same problem - and when I connect the drive to a Mac running the old OS, it is not mounting on that either
i can, however, "see" it in Disk Utility
tells me it is not mounted, is formatted as MAX OS extended, but can read no other info except capacity 4TB (i.e., not reading how much space is available, number of files, etc)
not sure if I should try to Repair or Verify, and if so, on the old OS on the new (yosemite)
My drive is the G Speed eS Pro... Useless the SETA Cable... My other G Technology Drive mounted... 4 TB Firewire Drive... Someone else suggested going a full install of the New Operating system. Really Don't want to do this since I will loose a lot of the settings etc...
Late night wish I could type. Uses the SETA Cable... and Someone else suggested doing a full install... Sorry

tried VERIFY DISK - "disk needs to be repaired"
tried REPAIR DISK - "disk utility can't repair this disk..."
suggests that I back up files, but since the disk won't mount, I have no idea how to do that.... aaaarrrghh!
Update on my drive that is having problems... It is a MiniSAS connection, RAID drive... G Speed eS Pro... All other G Technology Drives are working fine on Firewire input. Really need the Raid to work.
I alos have a Highpoint RocketRaid 2314 and up dated to Yosemite and can't See my Drive arrays. Worked fine in Mavericks
It does seem as though the Newertech eSATA driver is incompatible with Yosemite. I have just installed Yosemite (2014/Oct/19) and the eSATA disk is not available under Yosemite, but switching back to Mavericks on the same machine the Disk is fine, I tried installing the driver for the RocketRAID 62x SATA Controller under Yosemite, but the external SATA disk is still not visible. I'll probably have to wait for a driver update from NewerTech.

How did you switch back to Maverick? I need to get the data on the drive.
Hi Allan, I still had the Mavericks boot partition on one of my disks, I also keep an external Firewire disk with previous OS boot volumes on it, to hlp recover when I stuff things up. Have you tried booting from the Mavericks install DVD / USB installer to see if the eSATA disk shows up ? Later yesterday after I finished Migrating my files from Mavericks, the eSATA disk did show up on Yosemite, but still not the web interface to the eSATA controller card. I can on only get to the controller card through the localhost:7402 by booting back into Mavericks.
It might also be worth trying to install the eSATA driver again and see if it 'takes' the second time, as mentioned mine did show up eventually, after the Migration process.
I hope this is of some help.

HighPoint says 2314 not supported in Yosemite, and silent on if they plan to do anything about it:
I actually was able to contact the GSpeed people today because we had the same issue this morning after the Yosemite upgrade. Go to www.g-technology.com/support and find the GSpeed ES page. Download and install the 10.6.X patch. I'd contacted them and they were able to test it in the lab. It worked for them and it turns out it worked for us as well, I'm happy to say. 🙂
Now, we can get back to work. 😎
Thanks... I tried it... I did not find anything that said patch but I downloaded a file from here that said 10.6.x and still nothing.... See link... Is this the same patch or download.
Thank you,
Allan

I also can confirm the link http://support.g-technology.com/support/g-speed-es-downloads and installing the OS X 10.6x (Snow Leopard) Raid controller install works. Thanks for the help here in the support community as Apple support wasn't able to help. The driver was available in the Yosemite beta but missing from the release....
