R6300 USB Storage Issue

I've had my R6300 Router configured and running for months... Recently, for no apparent reason it stopped detecting my USB attached WD1021 2TB hard drive. It had been working fine, but now it no longer can detect this device.

I tested the WD hard drive by attaching it to my laptop... this works fine... I also tested the R6300 by attaching a different USB storage device to it... This seemed to work as well... it seems that the USB ports or Firmware on the R6300are acting up. Has anyone else had these issues... What is the resolution?
