Does anyone want to add any weight to Tet's assumption please.

The external drive is very loud, even whne it's not rotating, which is why 
I though the power switch was so handy.

What else should I know about SCSI then.  Changing cables when powered up I 
think is wrong, but is this correct for both devices powered up or is it 
OK if the external device is powered down?
