(1) 500GB External harddrive on left USB: it mounts, but irregularly unmounts and re-mounts. It works well with the right USB port.
(2) Wired mouse: most of the time OK, but also occasionally disconnects for several minutes and re-connects.
(1) happens much more frequently than (2).
(2) happens more frenquently if the machine has been running for a long period of time (e.g. several days) without rebooting.
