Seagate 2TB external hard drive drops connection

Hi guys, 

I'm having problems with my new Seagate 2TB external hard drive. It is dropping USB connection when I try to copy larger amounts of data. I updated my BIOS and USB 3.0 drivers but nothing helps. I also have two 1TB Western Digital external drives and they work fine. I tested Seagate drive on other PC, but on USB 2.0, and it is working normally.

I'm running on ASUS G-750JX laptop, Windows 7 Pro (64b)

Thank you in advance

It may be a cable, or the HD itself.  I would replace the cable and download seagates disk checking utility and run it.

Did that, changed the cable and tested the drive, all good.
