The drive just gets ejected when the laptop goes into sleep mode, even when it’s in use, resulting in read & write errors as the device cannot be found.
When the laptop wakes up the drive immediately reconnects and works normally but I cannot leave the drive doing any kind of work overnight due to the disconnects.
I’ve tried all kinds of power settings - USB always on, never turn off drive, USB root hub power management, etc. Nothing works, and it always disconnects when I leave it overnight and it does so regardless of the USB port it’s connected to (laptop or usb hub).
I use a lot of external HDD drives (WD Passport, WD_Black, Seagate Expansion Portable), all 2.5" without power supply, and they all work properly, I’ve never had a drive disconnect when in use.
Any ideas how to solve this?
My laptop is Lenovo Yoga 7 15ITL5.
