Brian, while you are doing the other suggested things to try, make sure
the firmware in your WD MyBook is up-to-date. Older MyBooks had a
number of bizarre failure modes like quietly going offline and needing a
power cycle to "wake up". All symptoms fixed after the 2010 vintage
firmware update. I have 4 WD MyBooks and all needed the firmware to
work properly with my Macs.
BTW, they are all fine now, no snooziness. (Quickly finds wood to touch ...)
