SO I was transferring files from one portable hard disk to another (I had two of them connected to the laptop and suddenly the whole thing crashed. Any idea why this could happen? Should I be worried?

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04.

With laptops, soometimes it's a lack of power. Try using external power with both drives. You can get cables which split so you can plug the free end into a USB 5v supply.
