[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1608340, member: 175845"] Almost anything can go goofy when it comes to electricity and electronics and it's almost like Murphy's Law takes over, and it also depends on the quality and speed of the surge protector to do its work properly. Have you tried another good cable or different ports? Even brand new cables can be goofy as I've discovered. As suggested, pull the drive from the Lacie enclosure and get a new enclosure and stick it in that. Just make sure you get the correct enclosure for a SATA or maybe even an older PATA IDE drive.
