At Alesis, 'computer' isn't a dirty word. Far from it, we think they're awesome for editing, managing, and mixing audio. That's why the HD24XR and HD24 both have a built-in Ethernet port for easy transfer. That's also why we made the ADAT HD24 FirePort - for pros who need even faster speeds.
Hi Rick -
Might be an incomplete mating of the caddy into the receiver.
Possibly the drive 2 connector has shifted slightly out of alignment - it's hard to
judge by eye, though. The caddy/mating system has been somewhat notorious for not
always getting a perfect, solid connection. You could try loosening the mounting
screws inside the machine, sliding the mating assembly foward a touch, then
retightening. (Beware cheap screws; use a correct screwdriver.) Could also be that
the front panel frame is off just enough to prevent a full seating on bay 2.
For many this has been intermittent based on several tolerances being slightly off.
Many have solved this by putting small washers on the screws that tie the connector
to the caddy. The washers go between the connector and frame such that the caddy
connector is lifted out just a little more (single washer thickness is usually about
right). This causes more full seating of the the caddy into the host connector.
While I never had any connection problems with the drives on my HD24XR, I have done
the washer mod and all the caddies that have had the mod feel way more secure
when they seat.
It's a great machine, with many good features for the money, but this part of its
execution isn't the best. Be gentle with it, don't force it, but try giving it just
a little help in this area and see if that doesn't clear the problem.
