<p>I have a Verbatim external USB 3.0 hard drive. For the second
time in a month, my laptop running Leap 15.3, fails to recognize
when it's plugged in. The light on the drive lights up when it's
plugged in, so<tt> </tt>the drive recognizes the laptop. The
laptop is a Lenovo T520. The ports are USB 2.0. Rebooting the
laptop does not help. Shutting the laptop for an hour does help.
Any of this sound familiar? Is USB port failing? Probably not,
same thing happens regardless of which port the hard drive is
plugged into. Hard drive failing or something in the kernel
messing up?</p>
<p>TIA,<br>
