I had the same message from Windows machines also using USB and firewire
external drives. It was very intermittent but sometimes it would cause
data loss (I always have backups so it wasn't too bad). I had literally
about 15 of these drives of different brands enclosures, etc and still
had problems but not very often. I was never able to pin the cause down
but after a while the problems kind of 'went away'. I suspect that it
was a driver or program interfering somehow, it was very illusive. I
now only use USB drives to backup to and never leave them running for
long periods of time because I don't feel that they are reliable for
that purpose. I store my music on a pair of 750GB internal SATA drives
in RAID 0 (1.5TB) and back that up to an Infrant ReadyNAS. I may be a
little different than most using the ReadyNAS only to backup my music
and not leaving it running but although I love it it is loud in my
opinion.
