First rule of wires.... do not wrap them around anything.  Sharp bends are
murder....especially on the internal connectors........Stop it!

Fixing things without knowing the sop is like guessing at the most likely
error first, and proceeding outwards from there......

Tina.. have you ever thought of using FILM as your storage medium.....?

Ducking.......

But I have never unplugged the connection that failed.  I always 
unplug the USB connection end at the USB hub, not the end on the 
drive.  After the first one failed, I have been very careful and even 
bought a special carrier to transport the drive back and forth.  I 
unplug the hub end of the cord and wrap the rest of the cord around 
the drive to keep it from twisting and put it in a padded carrier.  I 
don't know what else I could do to protect that connection.  It seems 
like it's just a particular weak spot in these drives.
