[H] External drive issue
Hey, I have a 3TB WD external USB 2.0 drive. When I try to copy large files (~50GB), the pc loses the connection and the copy fails after 15-20GB. Any idea as to what causes this or how to correct the issue? The drive seems to work normally except for this. Thanks, Bobby

Make sure that your USB cable is plugged directly into the motherboard ...not a hub, and or the case extension... plug into the back of the MB USB port.

It seems to be a known issue with Win7: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/8a0ac171-7bd1-4b8d-8e93-c3b05f969255/windows-7-64-bit-usb-external-hard-drives-lose-its-connection-and-stops-working Steve On 7/28/2013 6:01 PM, Bobby Heid wrote: Hey, I have a 3TB WD external USB 2.0 drive.

Maybe a known issue in 2009 but I don't have problems in 2013 copying blue ray rips = 45GB files to my external USB2 drive using Win7Pro At 03:07 PM 7/28/2013, you wrote: It seems to be a known issue with Win7: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/8a0ac171-7bd1-4b8d-8e93-c3b05f969255/windows-7-64-bit-usb-external-hard-drives-lose-its-connection-and-stops-working Steve On 7/28/2013 6:01 PM, Bobby Heid wrote: Hey, I have a 3TB WD external USB 2.0 drive.

Re: [H] External drive issue
Yeah, I noticed that I jumped too soon. Then I started to read the rest of that thread. Are you using an Nvidia/AMD chipset. There seemed to be a separate issue there. What year is it again? ;-) On 7/28/2013 6:57 PM, Winterlight wrote: Maybe a known issue in 2009 but I don't have problems in 2013 copying blue ray rips = 45GB files to my external USB2 drive using Win7Pro At 03:07 PM 7/28/2013, you wrote: It seems to be a known issue with Win7: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/8a0ac171-7bd1-4b8d-8e93-c3b05f969255/windows-7-64-bit-usb-external-hard-drives-lose-its-connection-and-stops-working Steve On 7/28/2013 6:01 PM, Bobby Heid wrote: Hey, I have a 3TB WD external USB 2.0 drive.

I have an Asus P6t Deluxe V2 motherboard. I do have an NVidia graphics card though. -Original Message- From: hardware-boun...@lists.hardwaregroup.com [mailto:hardware-boun...@lists.hardwaregroup.com] On Behalf Of Steve Tomporowski Sent: Sunday, July 28, 2013 7:18 PM To: hardw...@lists.hardwaregroup.com Subject: Re: [H] External drive issue Yeah, I noticed that I jumped too soon.
