I don't believe the terminator can actually drive term power.  The terminator 
does not physically have a power source.  Most likely the controllers are the 
only ones driving term power so most likely this is not causing your problems. 
  Just a thought though.  If the drive is driving term power (even if others 
are as well) then losing power on the drive could cause a fluctuation in the 
current.  "I feel a shift in the force Luke..."  Even a slight fluctuation can 
cause problems.

I think some active terminators have an LED to show term power.  Make sure 
there is no fluctuation when the drive is powered down.
