One other thing I wanted to add to this was make sure the drives are not 
overheating.  Some drives will actually shut down or begin to act 
erratically if they get too hot.  I discovered this when doing work with 
my external drive (notebook ide using usb adapter).

P.S. - The reason for this issue was because I had the drive near an 
exhaust vent for my laptop -- mistake :(  It is normally fast enough to 
handle high speed burns or file transfers as necessary.
