What type? 2.5" or 5.25"? Rotating HDDs should have their own power source, not every RPi power adapter delivers what it advertises.
Also, USB2.0 on the RPi3 has only limited output power.
2.5" WD 2TB Elements Portable External Hard Drive HDD WDBU6Y0020BBK-WESN. I guess its a power issue but I would think Kodi would tell me if a device was removed unsafely
Hello,
If I plug in my USB keyboard, while my external hard drive is mounted, it automatically gets unmounted and an alert on Kodi says my harddrive was successfully removed. This seems to only happen on my new keyboard, I have a really old crappy keyboard that works fine and the harddrive doesn't get unmounted when it's plugged in. Any thoughts?
