I Got a question. What if my pc crashes while the external drive is connected? I don’t have that problem at this moment but it happen to me in the past. I lost all my data on that external drive that time is was not a WD.

Will I lost all my data on it or is it protected for this?

Thanks in advance.

Kind Regards

Hello mate,

Is not supposed to do that. However, if the drive is transferring some files or the computer is accessing the drive at the time that it crashed it might damaged the partition of the drive.
