Any one have any ideas regarding this problem?
The issue is you need supplemental power. Basically you need a cigarette lighter charger that excepts a USB cable and a USB cable with one end that plugs into the drive and two A-USB ends on the other, One wil plug into the 6Fl and the other into the charger.

I have a cable if you are interested. I ordered it from Western Digital. Total cost with shipping was 17.56.
