    I don't use USB drives myself (I back up to other NAS) - so I can't offer much advice.

     

    Is the problem drive externally powered?  Or is it getting power from the USB port of the NAS?

        If you swap the drives, does the problem follow the drive or the port?

  • his is the real last issue that i have

    with just one hard drive

    i have to unplug it and remove usb to restart the connection.

    it is the last issue of all the entire system

      I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "restart the connection".

       

      Are you saying you need to do this after you boot up in order to access the data on the drive?

      Or something else?
