    I have a Samsung 2TB external HDD (with power source) connected to my Buffalo NAS. It always disconnects after some time when it is not being used. I think this is a power saving feature. But whenever I need to access it, I'll need to unplug then plug it. And each time I do this, my NAS also disconnects, so I'll do the same to the NAS.

    Is there a way to reconnect to the external HDD without unplugging it?

    ahh parang magiging part ng NAS yung external HDD mo....so shared din ba yung laman ng external HDD or ikaw lang may access?

    ano pala purpose of connecting your external HDD via your NAS?..hindi ba pwede via your computer usb port?

    Shared din sya. Sa external HDD kasi naka store mga movies. Need ko sya nakakabit sa NAS para ma-access ng lahat ng rooms mga movies.

    Btw, there were times na hindi sya nagdidisconnect. Like since yesterday afternoon until at this moment, I can still readily access the external HDD. Weird talaga.

    Maybe because you were perodically accessing the drive, preventing it to go "power saving" mode.

    Not likely as it was never accessed during the time I'm sleeping. There were times that it disconnects in just less than 1hr.

    Hindi siguro. Sometimes kasi less than 1hr lang, disconnect na sya.

    Does the USB port of the NAS provide enough power to properly run the drive?
