[X4U] LaCie 1tb hard drive going wrong

[Maris Avots]

Jonathan,
 You might have a problem with the power supply.
 I had a problem with an OWC enclosure used for Time Machine that I just
could not figure out. The drive mounted but was not accessible. Disk Warrior
and Disk Utility did not help. I took out the two hard drives and installed
them in my Mac Pro and they worked just fine. I finally called OWC and the
tech suggested returning the power supply for a replacement and the new one
got the enclosure to work again.
Just a thought.
Maris
