WD My Passport Essential 500GB External Keeps Disconnecting from USB3
Hi all,
So today i brought a new External hard drive today and started copying files to it (as you do)
from my PC (usb2) it worked fine,
but then when i connect it to my latop (TOSHIBA satellite L840) it keeps disconnecting within 5 seconds of copying regardless of file size ONLY when its connected to a USB 3 socket
i can copy stuff to and from the laptop using USB 2.0, but for some reason it doesnt like my USB3 ports :/
all software/firmware updated, usb3 drivers installed, windows even tells me it can peform faster if i connect to the usb3 port (silly windows
any help would be GREATLY appreciated
thanks in advanced :)
