[QUOTE="guy mcdude, post: 1651825, member: 348576"] Thanks for the quick response. But perhaps I didnt make it clear in my OP. The enclosures are what is powered, not the carriers. After the FW800 "receptacle' was acting flaky, I then plugged in the FW 400 version [ which accepts the same IDE drive carriers]. It acted the same way. So 5 hard drives of various ages could have died within minutes of each other. Or 5 carriers connectors could have failed within minutes of each other. Or two different enclosures/ "receptacles" could have acted the same way. even though all the other sensitive equipment has been unaffected. The whole studio is on on balanced power and surge protected. My logic was pointing towards the computer and perhaps its FW bus, something I though you folks might have more info on. thanks again for tour response. best, Guy [/QUOTE]
