Hi there! I'm having an issue with my external HDD. As the title says it keeps disconnecting and reconnecting when the hdd is in use. I use it mostly for watching movies and tv shows, but I also have some games installed on it. Doesn't matter what activity I use it for the issue will happen eventually disrupting whatever it is I'm doing at the time. It can be rather annoying at times.
I've googled around for solutions and I've tried everything they've suggested. Things I've tried:
None of these things have worked for me. I'm kinda lost on what to do. The HDD is working completely fine, and I haven't experienced any file loss as of now, but I am scared that it might happen at some point. If anyone could help me sort this out I would greatly appreciate it.
the HDDs exact name is: TOSHIBA External USB 3.0 USB Device (2 TB).
I've googled around for solutions and I've tried everything they've suggested. Things I've tried:
- Turn off USB selective suspend.
- Connect HDD to a different USB port.
- Stop PC from turning off Mass Storage Device. (I've also ticked off this option in every other possible place under "Universal Serial Bus controllers" in device manager.)
