Hi Smuggers (but, I suspect, Sam)
When I got back from holiday my Seagate external HD, a few months old,
portable USB-powered disk, had died while powered down (the mac was off).
Now another similar disk, but Western Digital, has just died on me too.
Luckly I took the suggestion here to go for a G-tech external, which
I've done, so this loss (of a clone of the HD) is not mission-critical,
but it has me nervous. Can USB hubs 'spike' and kill disks?
The hub is very hard to get to to identify;-) It's a Belkin 7-port,
which has two on top and five along the back.
Or is it likely it's coincidence?
