Have you checked the status of the Usb external drive? Spinning drives will die after time,
I'd be looking at the drives life status using some form of diagnostic tools. -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Anders Holmberg Sent: Tuesday, 26 May 2020 6:38 AM To: 'E.T.' via MacVisionaries <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> Subject: Odd issue with external harddisk. Hi! I have a samsung external spinning harddrive which i normally connects to a 7 port usb 3 hub. For some reason the drive does not work any more when i connect it to the usb hub. When i connect it to the mac directly it doesn’t. THough it has worked when i connected it to the usb hub so i am wondering if the hub begins to fail. I actually have tried another usb 3 cable but it did not work. All other devices works like a charm when they are connected to the hub so i am not sure what’s going on really. I am trying to find a thunderbolt hub with usb 3 ports. But i am not sure if such a beast exists. /A -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
