Solved HDD deattached randomly, no errors in the logs

Would be nice if it were that simple. Time will tell! Keeping fingers, toes, legs, eyes and ears crossed.

Wish I could find that other thing I was thinking of. Some forum somewhere - something about a drive connector and certain type of drive and you either had to block one of the connector holes OR was it put something conductive in the connector hole to make sure the connection was 100%? Too many forums, too many computers, too much to read!

And just remember a watch pot never boils. So as soon as you turn your back on it, it might get sneaky on you!
