What I'm thinking of doing now is to buy another Silicon Image or similar PCI card, without an eSATA connection, but with two internal SATA connections on the card.
I can then connect the Blu-ray drive to the extra connection on that card (my archive disk is already connected to the single internal connection on the card I'm already using).
Then only the 3TB drive would be connected to the Asmedia card, which should be fine.
If the new card treats the Blu-ray drive as the other PCI-E SI card did, that is to say not as a removable drive, all should be fine.
HOWEVER
I've now come up against a much bigger problem!
If I use the 3TB in Windows 10 and then go to use it in Windows XP, or vice versa, there are a huge number of file system errors on it!
I'm having to repeatedly run chkdsk to clean it up before I can use it.
There are a truly massive number of errors found every time, which seem to be all fixable, but is obviously hardly ideal!
This is after doing a backup to the drive in Windows 10 (where it showed clean) to then trying to use it in XP.
Checking file system on T:
The type of the file system is NTFS.
Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another
process. Chkdsk may run if this volume is dismounted first.
ALL OPENED HANDLES TO THIS VOLUME WOULD THEN BE INVALID.
Would you like to force a dismount on this volume? (Y/N) Volume dismounted. All opened handles to this volume are now invalid.
Volume label is BACKUP.

And that's just the errors which were recorded in the Windows log, I'm sure there were many many more!
I really don't know what to do about this.
