So as explained if I connect my external 3tb seagate hardrive to a usb 3.0 port and use to for a long period of time under a relatively heavy load it will disconnect and only will it work again if I unplug the power. When I mean heavy work load I mean installing fortnite or verifying game files. but doesn't ever happen if I am using obs to record a large file aka 2 hours 70gb. It also never happens on a usb 2.0 port OR WHEN I was using windows 7 only on Windows 10. I have no idea what to try anymore. I have disabled power saving features, turned on caching, tried every usb 3.0 port on my computer, and I have it in an open area (so it doesn't overheat). This seems to be an issue with windows 10 (random posts from the internet support this). Sorry If this post is harder to read I am typing it quickly before I go to run errands. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
