Does the port work for mice or keyboards or other low power usage devices? That would indicate you have a known problem with some models, the port on one side does not get full power and does not power drives.

Good idea, I'll try that.
It's a 2.4 MBP and the problem USB port worked fine for a year.
I wasn't aware of any known issues with USB ports on MBP's.

Thanks,
