Kind of a weird issue here...using a Dell Inspiron 13 running Windows 10, i7 processor, 8 GB ram, 64 bit. Running through a Lizteck Lapdock docking station. I have a second hard drive attached to the dock via USB, a WD 5000BPKT in an Orico hard drive enclosure.
Lately, every hour, on the hour (9 minutes past), this hard drive disconnects and reconnects. And I can't figure out why. Adjusted the sleep settings on the USB ports to "never" for both battery and plugged in. Tried both USB 2,0 and 3.0 connections. Plugged, unplugged, you name it. No difference.
If it was randomly disconnecting, I would say bad cable. But it's not--this happens every hour, on the hour. Which means something is trying to communicate and can't, causing the disconnect. What that something might be is a mystery.
The drive is showing up in Windows, so there's no problem there.
Any ideas?
