[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1619361"] Not sure what "pushing them out" means, but you should eject or unmount them before disconnecting. As for why they don't show up, some drives have built in power saving that shuts down the spinning when the drives are idle for a while. If they are connected to USB, and the system looks for them, they don't get spinning again sufficiently quickly to keep OS X happy, so OS X then reports them as "missing" when in fact they are just slow to arrive. If you can, check to see if your drives have that feature and if it can be disabled. [/QUOTE]
