I never replaced the PSU. Instead I put the drive into an external USB enclosure and the problem has disappeared. Western Digital was no help in finding a reason for this issue.


It could still be a PSU issue then,


Not bloodly likely, considering he's already replaced it (and everything else except the drive), before finally going external.

External drives are treated differently in software under MS operating systems. They usually default to "optimize for removal" or some such thing.

Quite likely a bug in the drivers for the internal controller, with only that drive. We work around stuff like that all the time in Linux.
