HDD Disappear from time to time

[RadiantLc1]

Hello my fellows. 

 

3 days ago I noticed something strange. My Western Digital Black 3TB were I keep all my Steam Library disappear and I couldn´t find it on Windows file explorer. After open de Disk Manger it appear again but then after 3 hours disappear again. I reboot my pc and the trouble keeps going and I run a lot of programs to see fi there's any problem with the disk but all of them tells me that my HDD is 100% okay even windows...  

 

Please, help. Anything is well receive.

Hey there

 

It does seem to be a cable or a port problem. Swapping the cable and possibly the port has a high chance of fixing the issue, especially if the drive is reported to be at 100% health. 

If the drive passes both the quick and the extended test from WD Data Lifeguard Diagnostic tool then you should be able to safely rule it out as the potential cause of the problem.
