[QUOTE="JoshJ, post: 1631509, member: 282115"] Thanks guys, I’m thinking through this now; 1. On the 30th Dec I was most likely working on a video project in an app called Screenflow (a screen capture & video editing app) 2. Think I remember what might have caused the issue today/yesterday; -I was copying a large folder to or from the Seagate last night and Canceled the copy midway through as I realised I didn’t need a copy; When I tried, the disk might have then not been able to eject so I had to force eject it. -Over the past day or two I think I also accidentally disconnected my USB mac keyboard which also had my Seagate connected to one of its ports. Do either of these actions seem like a more probably cause / warrant a different approach in solving the overall issue? Finally; -In future, if I can’t eject a drive normally - how shall I eject it without forcing it? -Is it always a bad idea then to cancel a Copy once it is in process? [/QUOTE]
