I have an older 300gb USB external drive model 9y7685-560 that I've used for years as a backup drive. All of my backups are automated and I'm so used to it running that I don't pay attention to the sound of it backing up any more. Sometimes, for no apparent reason, the backup drive will be turned off. I have no idea why. If I push in the front button, it powers right back up and the backup starts running again. I just happened to notice that it isn't powered up. My concern is that one day I won't notice, and then I'll have a crash and no backup! I have a HP Pavilion Laptop running Win 7 Pro on an HP xb4 docking station. The drive is usb plugged into the docking station. The drive and docking station are never powered off, but I shutdown the laptop every night. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!!! Lee
