[SOLVED] usb hard drive status changes
#3
Was just about to suggest checking the power supply. Use a good quality 5V 3A plugpack. Unfortunately most of these are switch mode power supplies so you do have to spend a bit more to get a linear ones. 

I have an official USB-C 5V3A plug from Raspberry Pi foundation, while that works, it does emit a high frequency noise on higher loads.

You can look around the Internet for some good 5V3A power supplies. Or if you have POE switches, use a good (brick like) 5A POE to 5V convertors. I'm using them for some of my Pis and kind of like it (in the sense it says a GPO, and also means almost everything in the house is using the same power feed from my switch).
