I have been having USB 3.0 device problems for a while now, some of the devices are IOGEAR USB 3.0 Hub, Corsair Voyager GT 3.0 Flash drives and some some others, when I was copying files to the drive, the devices would disappear from my system and copying would fail.
This problems seems to be the Power Management on Windows.
Here’s the steps it took to fix the problem:

  1. Go to Control Panel>Device Manager
  2. Expand the “Universal Serial Bus controllers” tree
  3. Right click on “USB Root Hub (xHCI)” and select Properties
  4. Select the “Power Management” tab
  5. Uncheck “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power”
  6. Click on Ok and close the Device Manager.
