Hi.

I have a Mag G4 dual 1.25GHz Mirror Door machine, and several Western
Digital WD2500 250GB FireWire/USB drives (the ones with the pretty
lights).

When they are connected via FireWire, and I try to read a bunch of data
off them (or sometimes even not so much), they'll spontaneously disconnect,
and all the several partitions will unmount. Works fine on USB, though.

Any idea what could be the cause of the FireWire disconnects?

Thanks,
~Steve

Forgot to mention, OS is OS X 10.3.7.
