#WD MY PASSPORT FOR MAC SNOW LEOPARD FOR MAC#
Shop WD My Passport for Mac 4TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive with Hardware Encryption Black at Best Buy. What should I do to stop my external hard drive from randomly ejecting itself? (Hopefully the solution doesn't require me to delete/move the many, many GBs of files I have on my drive. The My Passport Essential Portable Hard Drive provides high-performance portable storage for your PC and Mac® and comes with sync & encryption and Google software (PC only). I've tried resetting the PRAM on my Mac computer, and I used Mac's Disk Utility application to repair the disk (note: Disk Utility said that my drive was fine). Seeing that my newer 1TB WD My Passport Essential SE (Model No: WX71A31E5201) is built to perform better, faster and more reliably than my older model, I don't think this is the case.

However I don't think this is the case since I easily transferred these types of files on the older 500GB WD My Passport Mac USB hard drive (Model No: WD5000MEA) that I also own. I am transferring large (5-10GB) HD video files, so I'm wondering if this is overloading the drive. The next time you connect the disk, Mac OS X will attempt to repair any damage to the information on the disk" To eject a disk, select it in the Finder and choose File > Eject. If possible, always eject a disk before unplugging it or turning it off.
