I have a Verbatim 8G flash drive in USB1, for days it will not show up on the WD but can still be accessed via my PC.
At present it is working satisfactorily.
A have never had a problem with a HD in USB2.
Have you search the rest of the forum about this? I’d give it a try. Or, have you tried contacting WD’s Technical Support about this? I would consider giving them a call or sending them an email.
