Thanks for the answer. My disk (as I said in the original post)
is in an external box (The original that came with it). I included
this answer because it was the only one sure of the problem and had
previous experience with it. Other answers included:

1) Check jumper settings
2) Bad or loose cable , terminator etc.
3) The disk is dying. Exercise your warranty
4) Voltage sensor deciding it does not have enough power to spin.
and this one:
5) Disk is getting hot. Fujitsu's have this problem. It happend to me.

I placed the disk away from my slab and I'll wait and see. The problem
did not re-occur yet since the original post about a week ago. (Fingers
crossed)
