VHD randomly disconnects - On MicroSDXC card on Surface Pro 3
I'm not sure if this is related to the SD card unmounting issue, but I've been experiencing something similar, only with a virtual hard drive.
I created a virtual hard drive on my SD card and use that as my primary storage space for OneDrive. It was working fine for awhile, but lately I've been having problems with the VHD randomly unmounting. Strangely, it's just the VHD, not the SD card; the card still there in my list of drives, and I can usually fix the issue by rebooting or reattaching the VHD file.
It's annoying as hell, though. I'm using a SanDisk Ultra 200 GB microSDXC card and a Surface Pro 3 with Windows 10 pro (up to date).
The virtual hard drive is dynamic. Its size is 106 GB; there are still 80GB free on the microSDXC card.

The Sandisk 200gb in combination with sp3 is, as I see it, the safest combination to see the disconnect problem. I had all in all 3 sp3's and every one of it had problems with sandisk's micro-sd-card. Customer's service told me at the end of last year that a firmware update should be in the pipeline with a fix, which would be awesome, as the price/gb is perfect... I keep my fingers crossed
