Using a Maxtor one touch external drive (usb) on my Macbook pro timemachine has at least one back up failure every time I try to back up.

After restarting the process several times I can usually get it to back up, but I can't rely on this.

I have formatted and reformatted the ext hard drive. I don't see a problem with it and I don't want to buy a new hard drive to find out the problem is else where.

Anyone had this issue and overcome it.
