[QUOTE="baggss, post: 687006, member: 6762"] That is neither necessary nor practical. If this were Windows I might agree, otherwise it is a waste of time. I've been using Macs for over 12 years and have never heard nor followed this advice. To the OP, are the drives daisy chained together or are they each plugged into the USB ports. It is posable that the USB controller on the Motherboard is going and only the drives are being affected. What version of OSX are you running? [/QUOTE]
