I'm running OSX 10.7.3 Lion on 27in Cinema Display with 8 GB of memory, Processor 3.1 GH Intel Core i5.
Already have a WD 2 TB HD that I use for Time Machine Backups. Attached another WD 3 TB HD for archiving Home movies. Periodically, it shuts down (sometimes a few minutes, sometimes 15 or so) and a screen alert comes on: "! The disk was not ejected properly. If possible, always eject a disk before unplugging it or turning it off. (Then in less bold type) To eject a disk, select it in the Finder and choose File > Eject. The next time you connect the disk, Mac OS X will attempt to repair any damage to the information on the disk." Of course, I didn't do any of those things.
Sometimes, within seconds or a few minutes, the HD icon will appear back on my desktop as if nothing happened.
I previously had a 2 TB HD that preceded my current one, and thinking that it was a bad HD, I replaced it with a new WD 3 TB HD. Same results.
What gives?
