Hi,
Recently I’ve discovered that my external HD is performing very slow. I’ve used the WD utilities to do the 3 tests and besides the Quick one, the last two failed. I managed to transfer the data to another HD and I formated it and runed the tests again. Somehow, first time it passes the first 2 and fails the third one and if I do them again, it fails the last two. After this I downloaded the WD Data Lifeguard Diagnostics and these are the results:
| Test Option: | QUICK TEST |
| Model Number: | WD My Passport 0748 |
| Unit Serial Number: | ++++++++++ |

| Unit Serial Number: | +++++++++++ |

Any sugestions?
Thank you!
