Im using a WD MyBook 2TB external desktop harddrive, the kind you have to plug into an outlet for power. Im transferring files from my laptop and it will randomly disconnect and then reconnect a second later, but it stops the file transfer. I am not touching it at all or moving anything. It's just sitting there and will make the disconnect beep and then a second later the connected beep and be ready to go. any suggestions?
