Once google drive is idle and done syncing, the notifications stop. Upon boot one of my external SSD's gets hit with repeated disconnect notifications and I noticed that it's being 'synced' by Google Backup & Sync (as that's my destination for Google Drive).
It feels as though the longer the system is up the more likely the notification is (and sometimes it won't write the file, other times it will write and notify).ĭragging those same files from the main disk using the Finder, however, works fine (as does exporting from a native app like Pixelmator Pro). And, it's not every single instance / case.Įxporting a from from a video as PNG or whatnot with a destination to that drive causes the notification to pop up around 60% of the time. I've only been able to have this occur on drives that have an Intel process attached and writing to it (reading doesn't seem to cause it). I'm still trying to root cause this, but my hypothesis is that it's an Intel / Rosetta emulation issue. Has anyone had an issue with your external SSD's on Thunderbolt (and a few times on USB3) just randomly disconnecting? It disconnects and reconnects instantly and comes back online after tossing a notification not to disconnect a drive without hitting eject.
