I’ve used WD drives for years with no problems but in the past year since buying a MY Passport and connecting it I’ve had this problem occur more and more. The problem is my files will disappear in my finder window if I pull the computer out of sleep. I can see the drive but that’s it. I try to eject the drives but a window will pop up saying they are in use and I have to force eject even though no programs are using them. Instead I restart my computer. Then all my files will show up again until the next time my computer goes to sleep and I have to do it all over again. I hate having to restart my computer constantly! I’ve also had problems with WD utilities running scans. Sometimes the app doesn’t even let me click on the scan buttons and when I do a complete scan it either doesn’t do anything or after 5 minutes says it failed. Help!
*update: I came to realize that time machine was using them and that’s why I couldn’t eject. Still would like a solution as to why my files disappear after my computer goes to sleep!
