[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 1523596, member: 8287"] LB I have a Firewire/USB Western Digital external. The drive is perfect after a few years of use but one day it would not show up and the power light seemed dim. I got suspicious and checked the voltages (this one has a 5 and 12VDC Split very heavy duty looking power adapter with a 3-Wire cord). Well one voltage was WAY down so I hooked up another power supply just to test and sure enough, the drive was great again. Got another PS on Ebay and it's been running fine for 2 years now. So it does happen. [/QUOTE]
