I have started getting the message 'Reconnect your drive'
I should mention at this point I have an external HDD which has been
running under Macrium Reflect Free.
I have switched the message off in Control Panel which seems to work for
a while then the message appears again after a few days, perhaps after a restart?
Is there something I should do beyond stop being paranoid?

It could be coming from File History.

One other thread, File History seemed to be triggered
by a Macrium Reflect restore (which would affect
file state for a large number of files).
Perhaps anything which makes File History think a single
file has changed "thousands of times", creates a lot of
storage space requirement for File History (so any of the
useless versions can be retrieved).
Based on the fossil record, it's not a USB hard drive issue,
it's some inadvertent interactions between softwares (one
software making work for a second software).

Remote possibility, but try reseating both ends of the USB cable to
clean the contacts.

Mm. I could have sworn the remote drive light was on last time I got the erroe message. Just now it was off and reseating the cable has started
the lamp flashing.
Just got to wait and see now.
