I have year old Transcend StoreJet 500gb which is causing some trouble. So the problem is that sometimes it stops reading, for example during videos and music. Also sometimes when I open it there are no files inside. After it stops reading, nothing inside won't work and only solution to the problem is to restart computer. Oh and file system is NTFS.

So anyone has any idea what's going on? Thanks in advance.
