My Book for Mac 2TB, running slowly w/ clicking noise

I’ve been using MyBook for just over year, with no problems up untill now. 

As of today however, the drive has been very sluggish to respond. Initially opening the drive, it struggles to generate a list of files on there, and it’s the same when going in to folders. I can access everything eventually, it is just markedly slower than before. 

This is also accompanied by an infrequent clicking noise. 

Having ran a disk verify it instructed me to repair the disk, which I did. Now it states everything is fine with the drive, but I fear this probably isn’t the case. 

Any help would be appreciated. 

I would copy all important data to a different drive just in case. Then run the WD DLG it’s in the downloads for your drive and see what that shows.

DLG does not run on Mac. 

Regardless or what happens with the drive you ALWAYS need to have backups.

The drive is fine as disk utility already confirmed

Thanks for the suggestions. It’s a shame there is no DLG for mac. 

The drive is still running, albeit slowly, so I’m going to back everything up and return the device.
