*Updated and edited for clarity.
I've noticed lately that when playing videos from my external hard drive (Seagate Expansion - SRD00F2 2TB) will disconnect and in the event viewer I will see many, many of these errors:
Event ID 140: The system failed to flush data to the transaction log. Corruption may occur in VolumeId: H:, DeviceName: \Device\HarddiskVolume13.
(A device which does not exist was specified.)
and
Event ID 51: An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk3\DR11 during a paging operation.
After a few days of this happening, I could no longer see anything on the hard drive, though its properties said there was still data in there. The drive type had also been changed to RAW. I did not do this myself. I tried using data recovery software to recover the data to no avail. I restarted my computer after uninstalling this software and somehow my hard drive was completely restored. All my data was back, and the drive functioned properly...
Until today. Only a day later and I'm getting those same messages and disconnects again. I've backed up all my data to other drives, and I have ordered a new one, but I must know what caused these errors to occur in the first place. If it is definitely related to that one hard drive itself, then I guess that's okay, but if it's not hard drive specific - perhaps something to do with my computer, then I need to find out and fix it.
Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
Kind regards, Jimmy.
