I'm using a 120gig Maxtor HD in a firewire enclosure, this problem always occurs when I try to transfer large files (gig or so). After doing some searching, it seems to be a very common problem with no definite solution...any ideas?
 
well as you likely already know in IDE that is often a cable issue
and would assume the signal is screwed ATA is a very robust protocol
but not that robust (and it is still using ATA at the HDD only its being translated)

is the drive listed as UDMA in the device manager?
(excuse me Ive never run a firewire and Im not sure where or how you check that)
 
The only time I got that was once, when the hard drive itself overheated.
