    Hard drive will not stay connected


    Dell XPS 8950 - purchased new in April 2023Windows 11 HomeI have 1 SSD C: and 2 HDD D: & J: drives installed. The J: drive keeps disconnecting; sometimes while I am working, and sometimes it won't connect when I boot. I have not been able to detect any particular pattern to when it happens. Some days it will stay connected all day. Anything I can do to resolve this? Do I need to reinstall Windows as was suggested as a "possiibility" by a Dell tech? He really seemed clueless and was trying to get me to pay for a service.

    :)
