Hi all,
I have a Seagate Expansion 500GB external hard drive. For the past few weeks, it has been acting up. When I plug it into my laptop, it is read fine. However, after maybe 10 or 15 mins of browsing the files and playing video, the drive will disconnect from the laptop and immediately reconnect.
I've ran it through HD tune to check if there were any bad sectors and to check the overall health of the drive but everything came up as OK.
I don't believe it is the USB cord because it runs fine with my WD My Passport Ultra.
Also, as a side note, while the Seagate is plugged in, my USB mouse tends to chug and freeze at times.
Any help would be really appreciated and early thanks for any advice!
