Fascinating setup :-).
We can of course assume, given the care with which you have
designed your setup, and the astuteness of your choice to omit
any details as to the hardware (what type of HD interface, what
type of external bus, the bridge and the host adapter chipsets,
the disk and the power supply ratings) that you have advisedly
chosen the external disk for 100% reliable operation, as you
have checked thoroughly that the power supply of the case is
sufficient and that both chipsets (USB? FW?) are well known for
being bug-free and reliable for use with the relevant GNU/Linux
mass storage driver... :-)

A typo here: you typed "worked fine" instead of "seemed to work
fine".
