Are you sure it's not because the firmware of the drive spins it down after X period of inactivity?

This might give you some ideas to try: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/5211…e-from-sleeping

Thanks for the link I will take a look and give some of the solutions in that thread a go.

It could be firmware, do SSD drives often go to sleep?

Could be a faulty data cable. One or two small thread fractures are enough to have the disk controller or PC go apeshit.

Thanks for the reply, when I swapped to the powered external enclosure its using a different cable, would be surprised if two cables on two relatively new enclosures were having issues but ill see if I have any other cables around to test.

Hello, I am hoping someoen might be able to help with an issue I am having where my external media drive keeps disconnecting.

The system has been running for several months but in the last few days my external drive has started disconnecting. I did a bit of googling and saw that this can be caused by a power issue so I swapped the drive to an enclosurre that has a dedicated power supply but the issue is still happening.

Does anyone know where I could look for some logs or have any advice on what to try next for it?

Any help would be greately appreciated.

Edit: Not sure its also worth mentioning but after the drive disconnects it doesnt automatically remount, it has to be unplugged and plugged back in before it is mounted again.
