Apologies is this may notdirectly be related to Stablebit scanner or drivepool, but i've bought a new hard disk WD red 6tb and installed it into a HP Microserver (I think i can handle the 6tb since they handle 4tbs..i digress) .. Anyway, i noticed that my drivepool wasn't working right, like it couldn't find the files that it showed were there..but when i looked in the hidden folder, the files aren't showing -though i know they're there.
I tried creating a folder on the drive and WIndows (8.1) says it can't find the drive. Rebooting solves it for a while but it comes back and i've tried reseating the drive in another bay. Same thing, it works for a while and then drops out from windows. Sometimes i see the D: icon, sometimes not, sometimes i see the drive in disk manager (manage computer, disk management I think).
I did a scan with stable bit scanner and it was ok but then brought up a lot of "cannot read sector" errors, but i wonder if that's cos the drive has disconnected again so it can't read it.
The drive is new..do you think the new drive is faulty or something else? It's running as a 2nd disk not the primary boot disk.
The drive does work fine for a while but usually drops out when i'm using it after a while.
As i say i tried moving the drive to another slot in the server and same problem.

Thanks for any advice..
