Continue to struggle with eSATA

Previously I THOUGHT Setting the system to boot using UEFI legacy boot will make my eSATA harddisks show up properly.  Well, I was WRONG. Both the eSATA harddisk DISAPPEAR frequently even with UEFI legacy as the boot setting.  That really frustrated me.

So I am now going back to the UEFI secure boot.  Interesting enough, I found the eSATA shows up!  But then after a shutdown, and start up again, boo, the disks are gone again.  But wait, that's not the end of the story: if I restart the machine (instead of shutdown and then start again), those eSATA harddisks show up again!

So I guess I just need to figure out a PATTERN that actually work.  Very annoying, but then at least there's some hope.
