[QUOTE="troverman, post: 1319935, member: 64147"] I've had this problem with a drive I use for Time Machine. It seems the connection between the cable and the device or the cable and my computer seem to be the problem. The FW800 cable I have is really bulky and the connection seems far less secure than a USB. I used to use a FW400 connection and never had a problem...better cable and plug design. Since getting my unibody MBP the FW400 port is gone...forced to use FW800 or USB. My advice...try a different cable. [/QUOTE]
