What's causing an eSATA external storage drive to disappear from thedrives list?
Okay, Windows 10 AU, I'm trying to transfer some stuff off of internal
drives to an external drive through an eSATA connection. The external drive is in pretty good health, SMART only finds one bad sector on it, but as I try to copy stuff onto it, it just seems to drop out of the drive list. I have to turn it off and on again to see it again! Yousuf Khan |

Can also be the data connection isnt reliable too. eSATA does allow hot swap so its likely decided it has been removed. |
