Hey fellas
So i have a WD My Passport for Mac (500 GB) and i’ve had it plugged in to a sort of flimsy 40 dollar USB hub with a few other heavy duty pieces of gear also connected to it.
Yesterday my computer crashed, and when i turned it back on, only 2 out of the 4 slots on my USB hub seemed to be working. I plugged my external drive into one of the working ones, and it seemed to blow out as well because my computer wasn’t recognizing the drive.
I am now left with one working usb slot, it works when i plug My Passport into it, and My Passport works when i plug it into the USB slots on my actual Mac.
When i plug My Passport in to any of the other 3 not working slots on my USB port though, the Passport’s light turns on and the fans start running but my Mac does not recognize it.
I don’t care if i have to get a new USB hub, i just want to make sure nothing seems wrong with my passport?
