First of all, backup all the data from the drive in question. It could be that the drive is failing. You could try checking the S.M.A.R.T. attributes if it supports it with something like passmark diskcheckup

 I have a Seagate - Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive . Its about a year or 2 old now my issue with it is that it will randomly disconnect from my computer (by this I mean it will be their then out of no where it will just disappear making all items on the drive in accessible. As well as when I turn on the computer windows wont run the first time I have to power it off and back on once or twice before it does. (windows is on my ssd card though so I have no idea why it wont start up with out the hard drive) I have tried to change connection ports, cords and really anything I can think of but still cant figure out what the problem is. Any ideas?
