If you look at your drive, do you see if the USB port on the drive is making a solid connection? Some people have reported flimsy connections in the USB port of the drive, having this same issue.

Try a different cable.  Somebody recently posted a pic of the cables and one has a very small lock that is probably causing the problems with loose fit. If still in warranty call WD and ask about a new cable. A couple of the moderators saw the pic and looking into the matter.
