I've been having troubles mounting an external USB HDD to two of the three USB ports on my laptop. dmesg reports a timeout connecting to the device; plugging in other devices to the same ports works fine with no errors. I've attached the log here[1]. The drive in question is a Seagate 1.5 TB Expansion Portable Drive, model ST1500LM003-9YH148. I reformatted it upon purchase to have two partitions, a NTFS one for Windows compatibility, and an Ext4 one for Linux backups and miscellanea. Each partition is ~750GB in size. Any idea what is going on? I think the issue may be with the drive, which is virtually brand new (I bought it ~3 months ago). [1] https://gist.github.com/3916478
