[QUOTE="trevor25220, post: 1896528, member: 383454"] This 2TB external hard drive is 3 months old and was initially used solely for file storage. However, since partitioning it for 1.7 TB storage + 300 GB Time Machine, it [B]ejects randomly [/B](possibly when Time Machine kicks in), and can only be made to re-appear on the desktop by cycling its USB-A (in an RCA hub). 'My Passport for Mac' does not appear in Disk Utility after self-ejecting. Also, when clicked, the external hard-drive window takes several minutes to populate, whereas an older 'My Passport' backup is immediate. It seems the newer 'My Passport' really doesn't like being partitioned for dual use! More of an annoyance than a failure to operate. Any remedy, caballeros? Graçias a todo. [/QUOTE]
