I have an external WD My passport drive 320 GBs for about half an year the hard disk was working perfectly. Now I seem to be experiencing some Intermittent hard drive stops. The disk makes a clicking sound and during that time the you can see the hard disk in My Computer and the WD virtual CD, but you cannot enter them after a while the hard disk stops clicking and works again for a while. The only other way to get it working is to disconnect and connect it.
Please advise has any one else experience such a problem ?
You could download our diagnostic utility to see if the drive is okay. But I would make sure that you have your data backed up to another source before proceeding.
Hi tested it with the tool SMART and Extended test: PASS, is it possible to be a low power on the USB port since I have heared the same noise when you plug a too long cable on an external hard drive or plug it in USB HUB. The hard is directly puged into the mother boards USB’s. Also I am with Windows 7 can this have something to do with it ?
