Disk util is fine for a basic scan / look at what's happening, You could do a first aid on it and see if it finds anything of concern on the drive, The other thing is that if the cable for the external drive is removeable then possibly you should try another cable if not a complete drive bay as they do some times cause problems.

Re: Odd issue with external harddisk.
Does your USB port have a power connector, and if so is it currently on? I would expect that to be the most probable problem, though generally, when I plug in a USB device that the computer cannot provide enough power for, the computer will put up a dialog box indicating so. Also, I am fairly certain that modern USB hubs cannot only support USB-3, but the one my office provided me isolates the USB-2 devices from the usb-3 devices in order to provide better performance.

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.
