Hi,
In a thread about two months ago a USB disk-docking station was mentioned (Aukey Super Speed USB3.0 Dual Bay ...). I bought it, but I don't know what's happening with it. I wanted to use it as my backup-station for my NAS. I was testing it, but it was not reliable. So I tested it on my Opensuse 13.2 laptop. There it also has "problems". What happens is that after a while of not using it, the connection is dropped. I can't access it any more. I have to remove power and power it on again before I can use it. I was wondering if this is expected behaviour, or is the dock malfunctioning ?
Any suggestions to investigate this further ?

I don't keep mine connected all the time either. I mostly bought it for cloning hard drives, which it will do without being connected to a computer. However, recently a friend bought a new Windows 8 computer and wanted Windows 7. I did use the device to delete all partitions and create a new one and format it. It worked quite well for this temporary use. As I stated in that original thread, the documentation for that device sucks big time. It would be impossible from the documentation to figure out if your problem is a feature or a bug. It is possible that it has an auto-shutdown feature built in for it's own protection. For an external disk for backup purposes I use a 2.5 inch hard drive in an external USB case that stays connected 24/7 with no issues. A permanent single hard drive for backup might not fit your needs but if it could it might be a better solution long term. -- A cat is a puzzle with no solution.
