Hello John, Bypassing the hub was one of the first things I did to begin eliminating the possibles for this problem. Of the drives that were operating before I could shut down the system, those are the ones I see this problem with. Bypassing the hub gives the same failure as with the hub. The hub is a 400 speed Belkin with 6 FW jacks and also a aux. power input. I have never had the hub in use with the aux. power, nor needed to use with before. - russ
