Sabrent 3.5" hard disk USB enclosure keeps crashing
I have a Sabrent 3.5" IDE Hard Disk to USB enclosure kit. I have tried a
couple of different hard drives in this on four different computers (3 windows, 1 mac) and have experienced the same problem on all configurations. The device will begin to work fine. If you select a folder of several files, even small files, to copy to or from this drive, it will begin to copy the files. However, after only about 15 to 20 seconds of file transfer, the drive will mysteriously just power off in the middle of what you are doing. Windows will freeze up for a bit when this happens, and then wake up and accuse me of unsafely removing the device without shutting it down properly. You can leave the drive plugged in and running all day without any problems until after you have begun copying files to or from it. It always seems to get a hand ful of files copied and then it just stops. All of the hard drives I have tried in the unit are in perfect working order as they work flawlessly when connected to an IDE port instead of this USB enclosure. I have tried wiping the drives clean, creating a new partition table, and formatting them both for FAT32 and later NTFS. I continue to run into the same problem no matter what I try. There does not appear to be a more recent firmware update available. The drivers self-install in Windows XP and there are not newer ones available. I couldn't find any documentation about this problem on Sabrent's lousy website. I don't know what else to try. Any ideas? Thanks, Jeff |

My guess is that the power supply in the USB enclosure isn't up to the job.

I have a Sabrent enclosure with Genesys chip. No problems with a single platter drive.
If the drive stops spinning, then it is a power problem. If it just goes offline, suspect the chip or it's firmware. What does eventvwr say about system errors? "Jeff P" wrote in message ...

What model hard drives did you try in it? |

"Peter" wrote in message news Is it a SBT-ESU35 model? What is the power supply rating written on it? What model hard drives did you try in it? Yes, that's the one. I've tried a Western Digtern Caviar 30.7 GB 307AA-00ANA0 drive, a Seagate 80 GB ST380020A drive, and a Western Digital 10 GB WD100EB-00CSF0 drive. All yield the same results. I'm using the Wemtech AD-0201201 AC/DC 12 volt 1.66 Amp adapter power supply that came with the Sabrent enclosure. At the moment the device ceases to function, you an hear a click and the typical spin-down noise that you hear from a hard drive when your desktop machine enters sleep mode. However, the drive either remains spinning after this or it spins back up because you can feel it running inside. As to Eric's question, the Event Viewer says a whole bunch of stuff as I've pasted below. Most noteably is the entry at the bottom "An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk1\D during a paging operation." Thanks, Jeff The APPLICATION section posts these log events: Event filter with query "SELECT * FROM __InstanceOperationEvent WHERE TargetInstance ISA 'AntiVirusProduct' OR TargetInstance ISA 'FirewallProduct'" could not be (re)activated in namespace "//./ROOT/SecurityCenter" because of error 0x80041010.
