[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1623410"] I had similar problems with Seagate drives. Seagate apparently has some drives with "power saving" that shuts them down if they are idle for a certain period of time. When they go to that mode, OS X sees them as gone and unmounts them. If you can disable that mode somehow, it may fix it, but if not, you'll have to live with it. WD drives don't seem to have that function, which is why I prefer them. [/QUOTE]
