D8 Hybrid

Insert a confirmed working hard drive into that slot and observe if disconnections still occur. If the issue persists, the problem lies with the device slot. If it returns to normal, the original hard drive is faulty; it is recommended to replace it.
You can also move the faulty drive from that slot to another working slot for testing. If the fault follows the drive, it can be determined to be a hard drive issue.
