Hello, avoid using USB extension cables or USB hubs, longer cables can cause power inconsistencies. Also check if you have the latest USB drives installed for your PC.
Change USB cable but not solve
Cables are 20cm longer
What i do 
its definitely a problem with your setup. It works fine on my laptop’s usb 2 ports.
re-check the laptop usb port, reinstall usb drivers, change cable. that’s all you can do
re install usb driver
check with 4 computer(desktop & notebooke)
change usb cable
but problem not solve!
when connect to usb 3 port display "usb not recognyzed …)
but show drive and can copy file or format drive
format low level wd drive.but no change problem
well then its a hardware problem. either the usb controller or your motherboard.
repairman say your wd drive Non-Repair !!!
