[QUOTE="guy mcdude, post: 1651742, member: 348576"] Hello All, Ive got a strange issue with 2 FW drive enclosures that either erase the drive/carriers i put in them, or damage the the drive architecture enough that my computer does not recognize the drive. my computer specs: the computer Im working with in this scenario is a 3 year old mac pro running 10.7.5 so heres the drive enclosures. http://www.advancedaudiorentals.com/products/details/productid/183 One connects via FW 800, the other via FW 400. the carries house IDE drives, these units have been solid for a long time. In the last few weeks, 5 out of 7 drives I put in come up as unrecognizable,but they will work when I "hard wire" them with a universal adaptor kit I have. OR they become damaged. (As then they won't work with the universal adaptor) and I have to go into recovery mode. So what could have happened recently that both of these enclosures affect these drives in this way. I thought maybe it was a power supply issue with the enclosure, but as I mentioned the FW 400 enclosure is exhibiting the same problems. I'm totally stumped. Thanks in advance for any ideas!!
