Hey there.

Can you hear any unusual sounds/noises coming from the drive? Do you need to recover data from it. I assume that you are referring to an external HDD, but please correct me if I'm wrong. Try the drive with a different USB cable and a different USB port, to see if the issue still persists. It would be even better if you could try it with a different computer.
If you don't need the data on it, you could download the HDD manufacturer's diagnostic tool and test the drive for errors and bad sectors.

Hope that helps. Please let me know how it goes.
