Lately I've noticed my MBP shutting off for no reason when the external hard drive is plugged in. I unchecked "put hard drives to sleep" in Energy Saver, and it doesn't seem to shut itself off when the computer goes to sleep. My hard drive is a Macally FW/USB enclosure with a 200GB Seagate.

It may have always been like this (I don't leave the drive plugged in a lot), or it might have just started doing this recently. Does anyone else have this problem?
