I am having a lot of trouble with an external Seagate HDD disconnecting from VMs. This message appears constantly, and I have to unplug the HDD and plug in again for it to work. Sometimes it goes for days without issue. I am thinking it could be an issue with the HDD itself, but I don't have another to test with. I was hoping someone could give me some ideas? I thought that perhaps it may be an issue with the USB driver in VMWare tools? The ESXi host is running 5.1 U2, and the VM is running 2012 R2...
