WD 3TB USB Hard Drive Gets "Lost" in Windows 10

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

My Western Digital 3TB USB 3.0 External hard drive looses recognition (sometimes, not always) in Windows 10 when coming out of sleep mode. When this happens I have to power off and power back on the external hard drive for Windows 10 to recognize it again in the system.

Now, I want to know the most likely truth regarding this matter. I'm running my Patriot Vipers @ 2800MHz versus the 2133MHz default that this motherboard runs them at if I leave XMP set to auto in the BIOS. This could be causing corruption over several days.

But I think it's just a bug in the BIOS because I haven't detected any data corruption issues on the hard drive so far.

Does anybody else have this issue?
