[QUOTE="rbpeirce, post: 1924482, member: 410088"] I have two external Seagate drives I use for Time Machine backups. One occasionally disconnects on its own. [The other sometimes does as well, but not very often.] Re-plugging it has always helped but I'm wondering if something in the drive may be failing. They're cheap enough I could replace it but I don't want to if there is another problem. I've connected directly to my MBP using a Sahel USBC to USB3 adapter as well as going thru a Sabrent hub. I've used both for ages without problems. [/QUOTE]
