R7000 loosing usb connection to SSD and HDD sporadically
Hi When I'm sometimes copying or reading files from my SSD or HDD attached to either the usb 2.0 or 3.0 ports on the R7000, it looses connection which is very frustrating. I noticed the USB light...
As far as I know SSDs do not require a third party driver as they are plug and play devices. Like I said before, the SSD requires more power than HDD surprisingly enough.
Anyway, I managed to get a refund on the SSD and instead bought a Seagate 1TB slim HDD which works fine.
Thanks for your help and time.
My new USB 3.0 HDD enclosure and cable came today... unfortunately the problems still persist!
Is there a new firmware coming out to address these issues?
Edit - Could it be a power issue as the enclosure uses power from the R7000 USB port and not it's own power supply?
