Disk Management & Drives

I recently purchased an external hard drive docking station, formatted a few Western Digital(WD's) and all went well started storing files immediately. After a few days my pc didn't recognize the drive. It was there in Disk Management(DM) but the drive letter disappeared. Had to reassign a new letter & all good, files were there & back to normal. When I tried to use my original drive letter 'G' it would not let me I had to choose a new one, I selected 'B', said 'G' was in use but doesn't show up in DM. I have 2 other WD's in my case that work fine and never had an issue with drive letters disappearing. Any thoughts as to why this happened?
