Other Continuous attach and detach

I have an old external IDE drive with USB interface. It got with 12.3 unusable, I get continuously:

An IDE drive that's still alive? I'm more surprised it still works at all. I'm pretty sure the drive itself is long past its intended lifespan. That said, check power. Make sure you're not trying to power this thing from the USB bus.
 
Also there are those so-called USB Y splitter cables, with two (typically type A) USB connectors on the computer-side -- one is for data and power plus another for just some extra power.

Don't laugh. I still have five still happily spinning in various machines and USB enclosures, plus a drawer with a couple or three of spares.

There was one in my firewall a few years ago that started throwing errors. But, smartctl didn't display any errors so I pulled it from the machine and put it into a USB enclosure for use as a /usr/obj and ports wrkdir drive. Four years later it's still happily spinning. I'm not sure why it suddenly didn't like that machine though.

Mind you, the firewall machine is pretty busy writing log entries every two to three seconds. There's a lot of nasty stuff on the Internet.
