I have a new Seagate "backup plus fast 4tb".
The problem is : once in a while (like once an hour), I hear a little noise, and the disk stops working for some time (like 2 minutes) then starts to work again.
It's usb 3, and I have usb 2, but this should no be a problem.
Is this a problem with the disk? Or is it a problem with my usb ports?
There's no adapter. Only 2 usb plugged in laptop (one of them for power only).
USB Selective Suspend
. This will essentially cause the external HDD to sleep, until it is requested to be used again. It will then start back up and do it's thing.
