Lately I have noticed error messages popping up occasionally, saying I had not properly ejected Time Machine, followed by the external drive flashing repeatedly for a minute or two. It took a while to realise this was being caused by simply disconnecting my phone from a different USB port.

The Time Machine drive is connected to a powered hub, but I've been connecting the phone to an entirely different port on the computer that is separated from the hub. Other external drives on the computer are not affected.

Is anybody else seeing this or understand why this error might be triggered?
