I have 1 tb hd-ce1.0tlu2-us
serial 45506390501965
spare number 001d73 bof46a
It is connected by usb to xp pro computer. it is formatted ntfs.
I run stomp backup my pc every night after hours, backing up my c drive to the celu2, mapped as g drive.
It seems every few days, the drive disappears. I arrive with an error message from the backup that the media is not available or something like that. I check with windows explorer and it shows the drive, but 0 folders. I power cycle the drive with the switch on the back and everything starts working again.
I don't often access the drive during the day, so I can't say for sure when it goes bad.
I am not using Turbo USB or any buffalo software.
Any suggestions? I am afraid one day the power cycle will not work and my files will be missing.
