Drive D Suddenly Missing!

NB: I have 2 drive, SSD which is where my OS and apps installed and is C drive. While Drive D is HDD, for backup folder.

My drive D occasionally missing, and i cannot access it. I checked it on Disk Management and here is the result

Disk Management

And on Device Manager, see? Only SSD which is C that detected by Windows.

Device Manager

But when i restarted it Windows suddenly able to detected the HDD (D drive).

here is the screenshot

After Restart!

What is going on? is there any solution for this? I doubt that is because of the hardware, i mean if that was the hardware related problem like many people said on internet, even when i restart my Windows, the drive would be still gone.

This happening already 4 times this week. Before anyone ask, this is a laptop.
