My external hard drive keeps shutting off on me It stays on for a while but then shuts off How can you fix this?
There may be several causes: The AC power connector (if it uses a "wall wart" instead of having power internally), overheating, or the circuitry in the enclosure itself is going bad (which can happen in a few years depending on the brand). It would be easier to help you if I knew exactly what type of enclosure is giving you this problem.The best thing (but may not be the easiest if you're not familiar with taking computers apart) is to remove the drive from the enclosure and see if your computer can access the drive without the enclosure. If it can, then either put the drive in your computer or buy a hard drive enclosure (with a fan) and put your drive in it.--The Chief Geek
