The drive crashed while using it on an iMacDV but I do use the enclosure on a Beige 266 DT with the Orangelink Firewire PCI card and a B&W & G4 - to easily transfer project files. So is the B&W firewire port unreliable? and cause a drive to crash and ruin the drive?

Other B&W Yosemite posters have experienced the same "flacky" FW Port problem I was able to fix it once using Disk Warrior as the bootup drive. . Try it It may recognize the drive. If not , you are S.O.O.L.
