   I'm a little bit worried. I've had this hard drive (pretty old internal WD Blue 500GB) that I have in an external enclosure and I just whip out whenever I need to put certain files on it, I use it as sort of a backup drive)
   
   Lately (as in today) when I've plugged it in, mounted it, it lets me navigate around and open stuff/write to it as it normally would, but then after about 2 or so minutes, the drive disconnects.
   
   Not even just that, I also noticed that a YT video I was playing stopped at the same time, before my audio driver (pipewire I believe) refreshed and then apparently my headphones and speaker were no longer detected and the only output left was HDMI audio???
   
   I don't know what's going on here.
   Should I just move things off that drive just to be safe? I don't know if its a linux thing

     @tori yeah probably also worth doing a memtest while you're at it

     @allison also i doubt it would even stay connected long enough to do a smartctl test
