[QUOTE="MaxRulez, post: 1211897, member: 115002"] There is nothing wrong with the cable as far as I can tell, the terminals do not appear to be bent or damaged (the end that plugs into the enclosure). The cable I am using is the USB 3.0 cable that was included with the Western Digital ext. HDD. Compared to the previous 2.0 cable, the connectors on 3.0 cables seem flimsy and badly designed. The problem may be the enclosure as the connector does not fit very firmly within the port even when I first plugged in the drive. The error only happened when I slightly bumped the connector on the enclosure while it was connected to my computer. What I really wanted to know was how I could find out what enclosure would be compatible with a 3TB HDD if I cannot solve the cable issue. [/QUOTE]
