Emax

If your HD stops after some spinning i would go for a voltage problem again. If you have electronic skills and tools, measure the voltage on the power socket to see if it goes to 0 when the hd stops.

Another idea: Could it be a bad jumper settings on the HD?.

Altough it is not Emax related, I had lot of troubles installing an HD into my Akai S3000 XL. Had to set two jumpers for getting it working properly.

What happens is the hard drive will spin up twice and then just go into standby mode, meanwhile the emax is searching through scsi finding nothing... then if I leave the emax on just sitting there searching scsi for atleast 5-10mins and restart the hard drive will kick in instantly.  And will do so until I turn it off for an extended period of time.  It's almost like something is discharged after a while and then it takes 5-10 mins to charge it back up before the hard drive will kick.
