transport endpoint is not connected & if statement

Hi, my hdd sometimes disconnects from the nas by itself, that doesnt bother me. What I want is to write a script to test it:

Code:

# ls /usb/sdb1/

ls: /usb/sdb1/: Transport endpoint is not connected

This shows up when the hdd disconnects, I wonder if how I can use an if statement to get it:

Code:

output=$(ls /usb/sdb1/)

echo "$output"

if [ "$output" == "ls: .: Transport endpoint is not connected" ] ; then

        echo "yes"

fi

But there are no outputs.
Thanks,
Ted

Thanks, I found out how:

Code:

output="$(ls "/usb/sdb1/" 2>&1)"

if [ "$output" == "ls: /usb/sdb1/: Transport endpoint is not connected" ] ; then

        echo "yes"

fi
