I plugged the drive this morning and tried to transfert a 1.5 Go file.
The transfert hang-on the PC (Vista 32) and I had to reboot it.
When I plug the drive now, all is very very slow. I can see the drive into the drive list but when I want to browse into it takes some minutes to see a folder content.
I didn’t try to transfert any files yet, but I can imagine it is impossible.
What could be the problem ?
How can I resolve it ?
I have a VERY similar problem on a 2Tb MBE bought last March. All actions taken are geologically slow. Mountains erode away faster. I think this is a WD quality issue. If tech. sup. brushes me off, I’m done with WD products.
And run both quick and standard test. If any one of tests gives you an error report, you have no other option but to replace the drive. If both tests pass, you may need to upgrade drive firmware.
