Hello,
I’ve tried to find answers in previous topics, but I’m not very good in dealing with problems which occurs to drive. I have this external HDD for a while and it worked pretty nice, but as it filled up it become more slower which is normal I guess. However later I started experience that time to time it’s stops responding during file transfers or just during safe ejection. It also failed few times to be detected by my PC. Moreover it failed to copy some bigger files from it to my PC, I guess they were corrupted.
I have read previous topics and ran some test. I hope it’ll tell You guys more, cause as I mentioned I’m not very good in understanding this stuff.
WD’s Lifeguard tool came up with these results:
SMART Status: PASS
Test Result: FAIL
Test Error Code: 08-Error was detected while repairing bad sectors.
I also ran Short Self-Test on GSmartControl and it came up with message “Compleate with read failure”
GSmartControl output log:
