Just try to use USB enclosure with your hard drive.

HI,
OH, I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THAT.
WHY DO YOU THINK THAT THIS WOULD HELP?
JUST BECAUSE I WOULD BE ABLE TO UNPLUG IT AND PLUG IT AGAIN IF IT SHUTS DOWN?
OR DO YOU THINK THAT IT MIGHT WORK MORE STABLE IF IT IS USED THROUGH THIS?

Yes. You can simply disconect and reconect again. Some enclosurs have reset switch. It might help you. Sometimes canbe stable bit than now. you can find it in computer shop for very cheap price. Good luck.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
IT WOULD CERTAINLY SAVE ME A LOT OF TIME NOT HAVING TO RESTART MY COMPUTER EVERY TIME WHEN MY HARD DRIVE SHUTS DOWN. SINCE I DO NOT NEED TO HAVE THIS HARD DRIVE AS PRIMARY ONE, THIS WOULD WORK. I HAVE NOT THOUGHT OF THAT. ALSO, IT WOULD HELP TO KEEP IT COOL IF IT IS OUTSIDE OF THE COMPUTER CASE AS ANOTHER PERSON SUGGESTED THAT OVERHEATING MIGHT CAUSE IT TO SHUT DOWN.
I MIGHT TRY THAT.

IT IS VERY GOOD IDEA! ♥ THANX.
