I have a 500GB WD hard drive installed in a dock. A number of weeks ago fsck reported pages of errors. A few of you looked at a sample of the messages and suggested that I had disconnected the drive while it was being written. I had not done that (intentionally). More recently the desktop reported the drive did not exist. I powered the drive off, removed and reinserted the disk, the sata connector and the power plug. I tried again and the drive was accessible. The backup seemed to go normally. Today the same "no such drive" message appeared.
It seems likely that the fsck issues were in fact due to a disconnect similar to what causes the "no such drive" symptoms. So the possible causes are the sata connection, the drive's connection in the dock, and the power supply. How might I trouble shoot this?
