External drive randomly ejects on Mojave - is upgrading to an SSD a solution?
Mac Mini (2018) | 3.2 GHz i7 | OS 10.14.6
external drive = OWC miniStack USB 3.1 Gen 1 | 2TB HD
I keep my working files on the miniStack, including my Dropbox folder, so there's a fair amount of Dropbox activity running in the background from time to time.
This setup *mostly* works fine, but in December the miniStack started to randomly eject. I had recently installed BitDefender and thought maybe it was that, so I uninstalled it. Back to fine for a while, then it started randomly ejecting again, so I bought a new cable - this one goes from the USB 3.1 Gen 1 port on the miniStack to regular USB-C (the original cable terminated in USB-A).
Fine for a while, then it started happening again.
I'm wondering: has anyone had success with upgrading their external HD to an SSD? I'd be willing to spend the money if that was going to help!
thanks,
