Disk util is fine for a basic scan / look at what's happening,
You could do a first aid on it and see if it finds anything of concern on the
drive,
The other thing is that if the cable for the external drive is removeable then
possibly you should try another cable if not a complete drive bay as they do
some times cause problems.
Good luck.

Hi!
Yes i have used diskutil but not sure what other tools to use.
I was thinking of going thunderbolt instead of usb but its a bit expensive.

Have you checked the status of the Usb external drive?
Spinning drives will die after time,
I'd be looking at the drives life status using some form of diagnostic tools.

Hi!
I have a samsung external spinning harddrive which i normally connects to a 7
port usb 3 hub.
For some reason the drive does not work any more when i connect it to the usb
hub.
When i connect it to the mac directly it doesn’t.
THough it has worked when i connected it to the usb hub so i am wondering if
the hub begins to fail.
I actually have tried another usb 3 cable but it did not work.
All other devices works like a charm when they are connected to the hub so i am
not sure what’s going on really.
I am trying to find a thunderbolt hub with usb 3 ports.
But i am not sure if such a beast exists.
/A
