Drive trouble

I have some strange occasional problem with power to one of my IDE drives - not sure if it is connectors (all swapped endlessly) or yet another (spit) Maxtor drive dying. I have run Maxtor diagnostics and looked at the Smart output and it shows nothing. I've checked my PSU - 4 hards, a floppy, DVD, 2 x PCI cards and 1GB RAM and although 400W is 'skimpy' it is reckoned to be enough. Are there any other diagnostics anyone can recommend to track down the problem?
