Aug 23, 2014 at 4:06 comment added Kartick Vaddadi Sorry for the late answer, @username, but I tried multiple USB 2 cables (there wasn't one that shipped with the disc as far as I remember), and the problem occurs no matter what cable I use. Two of my external hard discs also support a Firewire interface in addition to USB, so I purchased a Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter to get them to work. Firewire and Thunderbolt supply enough power, as I understand.
