Hi folks,

I've got an 80GB Que M3 external firewire hard drive. and recently (in
the last 3 weeks or so) it's been disconnecting with ridiculous
frequency. Meaning i get about 15 minutes tops out of it, before it
disconnects and I have to turn it off an on to get it back. Any ideas
what could be causing this? It didn't use to be a problem. What kind
of things could cause this?

thanks
 
Voltage levels, (2 of them), on the external box may be marginal. The box
has its own onboard power supply. Heat may be a factor as well.
