I've been having this problem where my harddrive keeps disconnecting after sitting unattended for a while. My SSD is perfectly fine but it can be annoying when my harddrive stops working while I am doing something important. I have gotten the harddrive over 8 months ago and had this problem for as long as I can remember, but just ignored it because it always fixed itself when ever I restarted my pc.

Solution
Which OS ?
If Windows 7 and up, got to control panel > Power options > Your power plan > Advanced options and set HDD sleep time to 0 (Never).
