    The controller card in the external is probably a cheap-o. My WD card died. Try another external enclosure. Or put the drive into the PC and if it continues, the drive might be faulty too....If the drive is of a decent brand aka: seagate or WD, i doubt it, but maxtor is trash and so is IBM drives....and all those no name brand that dell use to buy......
