[QUOTE="johnodd4, post: 1623329, member: 331386"] sounds like the old problem again. Thunderbolt and firewire drives basically have a bug they write at high speed and happen to cause corruption by accident which makes the drive no longer read or write now for the good news your data is still there and is safe the bad news is i bet that the drive controller board connected to the hard drive is bad which means no power even though the power cord is functioning the unit itself is not getting power due to a faulty power board or power regulator in the box which means time for a new enclosure this is why i still use usb to many things can go wrong with thunderbolt and firewire although it is technically faster doesn't mean it works correctly 100% of the time [/QUOTE]
