Sorry, you are saying you have to have the computer running 24/7 to be able to access the drives? How else would it work?
Or are you saying after a reboot you can no longer access the drives?
I do know from a couple of different win boxes..hp workstation with TB card, as well as a MB with built in TB that you do have to authorize every device you plug into the computer. An I've found with many hard drives, that I had to search out windows versions of drivers from those manufacturers.
It looks like you are using a raid. Where was the raid created? That could be your issue as well.
