My External HDD isn't detected most of the time. this has been happening for around 3years already ever since I bought it (or maybe a few days/weeks after I bought it)

Hi there mrsmile,

This may be some kind of connection issue. I would advise you to try to connect the drive with a different USB cable and to a different port.
Another thing you can do is to run a brand specific drive testing software to check out its health.

Hope this will help,
