Dear WD Community,
I purchased the WD My Passport for Mac 1TB last week, registered, etc., and backed up my late-2008 Macbook running Snow Leopard with no glitches. Things were more or less fine with backups although occasionally I’d get a message saying there was an error in backing up with Time Machine. I attributed it to a loose USB 2.0 port–and usually when I then backed up it was fine. But today, I noticed when I plugged in the WDMP the icon showed up on the desktop superimposed with what looks like a boiler dial with the needle in the red. Could someone please tell me what that means. I’ve run the SMART STATUS and Quick Drive Test, which the drive passed. When I try to run the Complete Drive Test, it self-cancels after hitting 10%, with no indication of why. I’ve run Disk Utility disk repair and it says Volume Repair Complete. I also verified afterwards and the disk appears to be okay. Any insights are appreciated. Thanks
