[ltp] External hard drive failing?

[Jeffrey Taylor]

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, sothe 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?

TIA,
    Jeffrey
