so i just noticed this a couple of days ago, but randomly my secondary hard-drive (a WD blue 3tb) shuts down like it does when i shut my computer down, with the clicking noise and everything. i have had this problem before with my main drive, but that usually happens during boot up, and i usually fix it by swapping the cables around. i think it is the power supply but i want to be sure before i just start throwing parts at it.

our drives are alrigh. Go in advanced power settings and set the drives to never power down.
Alternatively, if htose drives are WD, you may have some digging to do: https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/hacking-wd-greens-and-reds-with-wdidle3-exe.18171/

i know that it isn't that because when it does turn off; it keeps on turning off and back on again. also when i try to run a program that is downloaded to this disk when it is doing this, it will become unresponsive, but i will try this anyway.
