During larger files or many files being transferred to external 3.0 USB HDD's, the HDD will disconnect or stop working and need to reboot to bring it back.
This question has been asked so many times yet I don't see a consistent solution.
This is a pain because I have 8 of these WD blacks in two bays and I want to use them as backups.
I started a 62gig file transfer to a 2TB HDD and when it reached about 50% the drives shuts down or connection fails.
Does anyone know if there is a solution to this. Many suggestions are related to USB 3.0 power or host controller issues. I've downloaded host controller software but nothing happens. in some cases it tells me no host controller is found.
I've tried everything I can think of, if there are any suggestions, i would sure appreciate your input.
