I have a brand-new 250 G Seagate Barracuda which I have tried in two different USB external drive cases, both powered from power supplies. The drive will not spin up in either one, but I can feel it repeatedly trying, as the light on the case periodically blinks on and off. Both cases can successfully handle a Maxtor 300 G drive with higher milliamp ratings than the Seagate at both 12 & 5 volts. And, yes, the Seagate works fine when installed as an internal drive. Anyone know what's going on?
