[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 832602, member: 8287"] Disk Utility is saying a USB and not a Firewire connection. No, unplugging the USB cable should not cause the drive to shut off if it's powered externally from an AC Adapter. Something is wrong. The drive should turn on without a USB cable plugged in. Sounds like maybe the Power Supply died and the computer is giving it power and probably not enough. [/QUOTE]
