Hello to all. I found this thread on google, since I have a 200GB external Maxtor one touch and had 2 x 200GB WD USB&FireWire Combos. ALL OF THEM DEAD NOW

I was wondering if it might have to do something with electricity. I moved to a brand new apartment and all three of my drives went dead on me within 6moths. Weird. I also had all of them pretty filled up with only about a Gig of free space and usually let them run overnight. I must admitt that under XP I'd usually just pulled out the USB cable and wouldn;t do that 'safely remove drive' procedure. I've been tapping the most recent victim (the musical maxtor

without any luck for about 30 mins now....it's 1:30 in the morning and my hand hurts pretty bad now.) I hope all of you will be more lucky than me!!! CHeers. E.
