Random Annoyance...

So, I have noticed, that after a little while, regardless if I'm playing a game, or paused, my external hard drive will no longer be seen on the PS3, but still lit up. I would then have to disconnect the USB cable from the PS3, then reconnect it to get it to see it again. Jailbroken, 3.41 not sure if that really matters..

Note, I do not have this issue when connected to my computer.. anyone else experience this?:(

seems like there is an idle disconnect or something.

What BM are you using?
Have you looked at the manual for the drive?
