    Hardware issue-USB3 external Disk.


    USB [mainly] USB3 CABLE connectors: The new SSD disks are really a pain keeping connected as the Connectors are so small they do not to stay connected. The female connector is small not like the older BIGGER USB1 and USB3 did. The slightest wiggle they come loose and Windows and its buffers do not like that. ANY trick, "pinching' of the MALE/FEMALE, trick to keep them MATED better? Thanks.

    :)

    External Hard disk detect issue

    Hello,

    Let's determine the reason why your Windows 10 stopped detecting your external hard disk. To get started, we'd like to get the following information:

    • Did you make any changes to your computer prior to the issue?
    • Are you getting any error messages?
    • Have you tied connecting the external hard disk to a different computer? If yes, is it working?

    In the meantime, let's run Hardware and Devices Troubleshooter. This troubleshooter automatically detects and resolves problem with hardware and devices. To do so, please follow these steps:

    • Open Control Panel.
    • Select View by: Small icons.
    • Open Troubleshooting.
    • Under Hardware and Sound, run Hardware and Devices Troubleshooter.
    • Follow the on-screen instructions.

    We're looking forward to your response.

    Mount external USB3 disk after Safely Removing it?

    My MyBook is a few years old and it looks like they removed the power button on newer units.
    Check your local Lowes for one of these:

    Works great for Christmas trees also.

    Hardware issue-USB3 external Disk.

    Mount external USB3 disk after Safely Removing it?

    Win 10 Pro 64bit. I have an external hard disk (WD MyBook) connected via USB3. After using it I use the "Safely Remove ..." thingo to remove/unmount it. Sometimes I want to mount it again but the only way I have found to do that is to power the drive down and up again. I'd like to mount it again without powering the disk down and up. This disk does not have a power switch so I have to pull the power adapter.

    Seems like there should be an easier way to mount the disk. Suggestions?
