[QUOTE="jdub75, post: 901830, member: 117921"] I recently bought a WD Caviar Black 750GB and a Rosewill enclosure to use as an external HD. Half of the time I connect it, it won't show up on the desktop, but will show up on System Profiler as an unknown device. The few times it does show up on the desktop, it disappears after a few minutes with a warning that it was improperly removed. System profiler will still recognize it as a Rosewill External HDD though. It connects through both USB and Firewire, with the same problem, regardless of which port I plug it into. I figured I'd ask to see if there was anything I could try before I send the drive and enclosure back for a refund. [/QUOTE]
