The hard drive I am using to edit off randomly disconnects

[Arthur5FBC]

Hey,

So when I am using premiere pro, my harddrive randomly disconnects sometimes. I am not really sure what is causing it. The only way to solve this problem is to restart the computer. 

This only happen when using premiere pro, anyone know what could be causing these crashes? 

Cheers, 

Arthur

If I were to guess, I would say the drive isn't getting enough power and it "shuts down" sort off thing. Then it realizes it's fine and starts back up. Sounds a bit like a faulty drive or at least one that can't handle the load the premiere gives it.

Yeah I think that might be the case. I have moved the clips to my main computer and since then I have had no problems!
