I have two WD5000BEVT HDDs and a one of those SATA/power to USB adapters and they don't seem to work properly. With a direct SATA connection the computer lags incredibly and freezes. With a USB connection the HDD sometimes clicks continuously every two seconds or so. Sometimes the disk stops after a bit and sometimes it doesn't even start. Re-plugging the HDDs a few times can sometimes settle the problem and currently I'm backing up my system in one of those disks.
Could it be a faulty USB adapter? Bad drivers? Or two faulty disks?
