usb drive keeps disconnecting

Fightclub2014 · Oct 19, 2014

My generic usb 3.0 drive, while plugged into my front usb 3.0 port every few seconds disconnects and then reconnects a few seconds later. It keeps on doing this repeatedly. How to fix? thx

Buy a mains-powered USB 3.0 hub like this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Transcend-HUB3-4-port-USB-Hub/dp/B005D69QD8/ref=sr_1_5?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1413803761&sr=1-5&keywords=mains+powered+usb+hub+3.0

Is there anyway to fix without buying something?

What format is the USB drive? Format it to NTSF with Default Allocation Size.

How do i do this (btw since it doesn't stay in pc i will do it on laptop [mac])

If it works on the laptop, but not the PC, something is wrong with the PC, not the drive more than likely.

Do you have any idea how to fix?

It should be just in the list of options.

Does it always disconnect and reconnect in Device Manager as well?
