My external 1TB USB 3.0 HDD keeps randomly disconnecting

i’m having a problem with my WD TV LIVE and my 1tb usb 3.0 hdd. my external hdd had been working fine. However, I noticed that about a couple of days ago it would disconnect itself while I was watching a video from it. i tried my usb 2.0 hdd and i have no problem at all, the problem is the usb 3.0 only. i’d appreciate your help. thanx in advance.

Sure you’re in the right forum? This was a known bug of the WDTV Live Streaming, fixed in 2.01.86.
