Cabling... most of troubles caused by cables for me - it is
reason I do not believe external devices.
Most of IDE breaks was long ago - last about 3 or 4 years ago.
SCSI drives breaks are quite regular - 1 or 2 in at least 5
last years.
this is for about 50 SCSI drives near me and about 3 times more
IDE drives.
This is my expierency - you have another.
