If your drive keeps unmounting— it is one indicator the drive is failing.
You can try—
Repair a storage device in Disk Utility on Mac

Information, please.
Please run Etrecheck and post its full report here.
Use the “additional text” button and paste the report into the text box.
Also tell us what drive it is and how it is formatted.
If the external drives are all formatted and set up the same way, but this drive is the only one with problems, then either the drive or its cable are probably failed. Try another cable, if that does not fix it then the drive needs to be replaced. If it is new then it is probably still under warranty.
Have you run any "cleaning", "optimizing", "speed-up" or anti-virus apps on your Mac?
Did you reformat the drive before using it for Time Machine? It should have a GUID portion map
and formatted OS X Extended (journaled).
it could be, but it is brand new unit, I have several old same ones and this is only one doing it. When I restart old ones are immediately on screen, but the new one takes few minutes to show.
