External hard drive/ssd issues using the usb 3.0 otg

[Andre]

I have nearly the same problems with my 2,5″ hard drive and the mini usb 3 port.

When i want to copy a file to the pc or another drive than the drive disconnects and connects instantly again.

The same thing with video files. I start a video. After a while approximately 5-8 min it stops because the drive disconnects.

Have someone else the same problem with the mini usb 3 Port?

The usp type c port works well with an adapter =)

I think it might be a power issue. I have the same behaviour, also it does not see my usb 3.0 on the mini usb 3.0 as external, so I cannot eject the drive. On USB-c it all works fine with an usb-c to usb-3.0-A adapter.
