[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1151857"] Since you say "front Firewire ports" I have to assume you have a Mac Pro (you didn't say -- nor what OS ...). Does it do the same thing if you plug the drive into the back FW ports? I'm going to guess no. If I'm right, then that means the front FW ports share the same bus. So the solution is to buy a long FW cord, and leave the cord permanently plugged into the back ports, and just connect the drive to that as needed. [/QUOTE]
