I also upgraded my 7232 storage with eSATA - an acomdata pdhd1000-72. It had been used on a computer and didn't have the correct formating, so it wasn't recognized initially. I formatted it to exFAT and it worked. Following other forum advice I read, I waited to plug it into the 7232 until prompted by the "Expand Storage" routine in the 7232. I turned it on first, and then plugged it in, and then waited until the "to activate press OK" screen was overwritten by an "external drive recognized" screen and its successors. I think it is important to avoid jumping the gun - wait for several seconds while the 7232 talks to the external drive. Pressing the OK to activate is about the last thing to do in the process.
