Like a spinning disc drive? I always found those separately powered drives flakey on a PI, the drive was fine, the pi is fine, the dock I used was solid on my PC and laptop, but not the pi.
Is it your OS drive? Could you get a tiny USB SSD and try that out as primary?
The OS is on a SD card, the HDD is a spinning disc connected via USB and I actually never had any issues with its connectivity.
There are however issues sometimes if I connect a second drive, where I assume it does have something to do with not getting enough power for 2 external HDDs, but I only ever connect a second drive for backing up.
Don’t think this is connected, but if more people here feel like yes then I am happy to check in that direction.

Are you powering the spinning disc off the pi? High draw can cause funky stuff too.
Any under voltage warnings?
