[QUOTE="mcjacksonnelson, post: 1023393, member: 47341"] thats really interesting. the cable i have is gold plated so it looks pretty similar to what you have. our IT guy said it might be the drive thats going bad, thats why it keep unmounting. so we reformatted it and it mounted right away. started a back up, but halfway thru the backup it unmounted again. just for fun, i mounted the drive on another computer and its going on 2 hours now without unmounting (usually unmounts within 10-15 min). could it be something with my computer? thanks again. EDIT: just a note, this all started after we installed that 2tb FW800 drive. the FW400 drive worked fine for a good year and a half before that. [/QUOTE]
