Try another USB cable no longer than the original and don’t connect through a hub. Try plugging power directly into the socket instead of a surge protector. Try Different USB ports and a different PC if possible. See if any of that helps. Since the Elements is not an encrypted drive you might be able to put in a third party enclopsure or connect as an internal. I don’t know what that actuallt involves
