I have a Dell Precision 370; 4 gb memory, 3 fixed SATA hard drives, four
external IDE and one external SATA. As well, my Creative external soundcard
hangs off a USB connection, as does my mouse and keyboard, and I have an
external DVD drive on USB as well.
I have 7 on board USB ports, and 2 x 4 port PCI cards.
What I experience intermittently (sometimes) & frequently (occasionally) is
the loss of a USB device. Mostly a hard drive, but sometimes the mouse or
keyboard.
Usually, swapping the connection to a different socket wakes the device up
again. Sometimes however, I have to reboot.
This is extremely frustrating, and my conclusion is that the USB drivers are
not all they are cracked up to be.
Anyone got any ideas on this?
