IcyBox Problem

[Slime]

Hi, I bought an IcyBox enclosure for a couple of old hard drives I had lying around about 8 months ago. It worked perfectly until recently as now everytime I plug it in, it gives me "USB device not recognised" errors and says "one of the USB devices attached has malfunctioned".

I've checked the drive and it works perfectly if I plug it into the motherboard and PSU. The drive has been formatted and tried again with no luck.

Any ideas what could be wrong? Thanks

P.S Where's the search function gone?

Ok, so can anyone recommend a case which is less likely to fail or is it just a matter of luck? I bought the IcyBox as i wanted to use my old IDE drives with it, but also knew that i would probably be using a SATA drive with it somewhere in the near future. I'm a bit reluctant to buy another but don't know of any other that will let me use both types of drives.
