USB 3.0 external hard drive disconnects after a few minutes
I connect my USB 3.0 external hard drive to my laptop and it works but after a few minutes of not using it the disk stops spinning and when I to use it again my computer locks up and after 30-60 seconds it disconnects and reconnects some times. Else I have to pull it out. If I use the drive without a to long pause in between it work perfectly fine but as soon as the drive stop spinning and has to spin up that is where it happened. that feature in the power options turn on where the power to usb does not turn off. Any suggestions?
EDIT: I have an Idea I will look to see it I can change the hard drive shutdown time in properties. I not home yet I will let you know if that work
