The drive inside is the "IBM DARA 218000".

I have pinpointed the problem to this:

- Drive bay inside the EMPEG (with the 4 screws), with cover on -> Uploads to unit (via USB) will crash after 2 to 4 minutes.

- Drive bay sitting on the frame of the EMPEG box, cover off -> I can upload to the unit without any errors or whatsoever. Everything works perfectly.

Ideas?

I even tried to put little patches of electric tape to the side of the drive bay, with tiny holes for the screws, so that there is no friction with the EMPEG case.

Did not help.......
