My Passport for Mac. Fails complete drive test

WD External Drives External Drives for Mac

I have a new My Passport for Mac.

I am using the drive out of the box, so the file system is HFS+J.

Using Disk Utilities the Drive is OK.

Using WD Drive Utilities the SMART diagnostics are OK; it passes the Quick Drive Test.

DiskWarrior reports the file system as OK.

It fails when running the Complete Drive Test. Usually after abou 30% completion.

Any thoughts?

Answering my own question.

I turned off the screen saver, screen power off, etc. Now the Mac contunues to run with no time limitation.

This fixed the problem. The WD Disk Utilities completed the full disk test OK.

It took about 6 hours.

Maybe WD can fix this problem. Or add a note to the instructions.

Normally, all operations are suspended when a computer system goes to sleep.
