Hi!

First of all sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, if it is, please point me to a better suited channel!

Anyway I've got this old 2TB HDD attached to a rpi 4b, it worked flawlessly until now, the last few days it started disconnecting randomly..

If i reboot it mounts back again.

This is the df output:

/dev/sdb1       1.8T  535G  1.2T  31% /mnt/2tb

And this is sudo dmesg | grep sdb (the device is sdb ofc).

[   14.970908] sd 1:0:0:0: [sdb] 3907029168 512-byte logical blocks: (2.00 TB/1.82 TiB)
[   14.978857] sd 1:0:0:0: [sdb] 4096-byte physical blocks

[   15.065585]  sdb: sdb1
[   15.068403] sd 1:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI disk
[   22.631983] EXT4-fs (sdb1): recovery complete
[   22.660922] EXT4-fs (sdb1): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Quota mode: none.

The device has an external power supply of its own, so it's not a power issue.. This setup worked for a couple of years.

I cannot see anything wrong here, pheraps is the HDD which is going bad?

USB Cable connection, power failing? Is drive set to power down on idle and then falling off the radar?
