HDD disconnecting issue

*using a USB hub solved the issue

Is there any chance the USB cable is faulty? Or a flaky port on the drive end?

Because that symptom sounds to me like a flaky USB connection.

Also, check the SMART stats of your drive.

Just reconnected it with a new cable to make sure it wasn’t that.

The smart looks ok to me.

I will give it a go in another computer and see if it’s maybe a motherboard issue, but I highly doubt it
