I have seen this in a friends workstation that had a external usb hard |
| 17 |
drive, what I noticed then was that something goes wrong when writing to the |
| 18 |
device and the USB resets, it can be many small writes or one big flush, in |
| 19 |
this particular case it got fixed by moving the drive from one port to |
| 20 |
another... I know it sounds odd but it happends on my laptop aswell with my |
| 21 |
wifi, thumbdrive and usb phone in one particular port... they all work fine |
| 22 |
on the other 3 ports |
