I use the onboard SATA jacks on my Frakkintosh's JMbridge connectors for eSATA. Two days ago, in the middle of a backup, the eSATA drive somehow went wonky and ejected itself -- or at least the OS thought so. This is 10.6.4. It also partially hosed the primary drive. Many hours later, I got almost everything back, but that wonky drive gives my machine fits no matter where I put it, and it's a fairly new drive -- WD, about 6mos old, 320G. I've tried reformatting, etc, but that drive is history.
Thing is, I don't like it that the primary drive was affected too. Doing a backup, its OK with me if the backup drive goes kerflooey, but I really don't want the primary screwed up until I do get a working backup done... Don't now if there's a connection here to the problem MAVIC reported....
