Review Text: Ejects randomly on Mac. Had this drive delivered yesterday and it's already giving me issues. I formatted the drive for my Mac, and after backing up a couple TBs of data overnight and most of today as of writing this review, I tried to eject the drive safely on my Mac and it would not un-mount. I didn't want to force eject it so I let it sit for a while to see if it would stop whatever it was doing and eject normally, but it never did. I opted to restart my machine, but afterwards I realized this is probably the same thing as force ejecting it since macOS tried to safely eject when rebooting then just force it to un-mount. I moved the drive to another room/machine to back up data on that Mac, and that was the last time the drive worked as expected. The drive now constantly and randomly ejects/un-mounts, which as you can imagine makes it pretty unusable. I've attached a screen shot showing the drive mounted as "8TB" right below the macOS warning to eject drives safely, as it now just does this cycle nonstop. I'm not sure if it's the HDD or the case that's causing the issues, I will say I shucked the drive (so much for returning it lol) and while it still unmounts randomly it is nowhere near as bad as when it was in the case. It has a tiny logic board that provides power and USB-C confections that plugs into the SATA port, I'm hoping it's this little thing that's bad and not the drive itself. I'm fine using it like this until I can get a new case for it.
