![]() ![]() I can read from the drive while SSH'd into the Pi without any problems, but sending files over the network always fails. The drive only loses connection when the network is being stressed. Adding max_usb_current=1 to /boot/config.txt doesn't make a difference either. I've also tried connecting the HDD to a powered hub to eliminate the possibility that the Pi can't supply enough for the HDD USB interface. I've tried several power adapters, ranging from 700mA to 4A. Judging from what I've been reading, it seems likely that connecting the Pi to a power supply with a high enough capacity would alleviate the problem, but it doesn't. ![]() I've tried using a USB 2.0 HDD and it seems to work, so I presume it's a problem related to USB 3.0 and the fact that it uses more power than USB 2.0, or maybe due to differences in the SATA to USB adapters. When I try to copy a file from the Pi over the network, the /dev/sda device disappears and reappears again as /dev/sdb or another letter. I've got a powered 3TB USB 3.0 HDD that I'm hoping to use as the storage medium for movies and shared files. ![]() The network speed isn't a problem as it will mainly be used for streaming movies.
