Tons of similar problems for which WD doesn’t have concrete proven solution - see this post  WD My Passport 1TB let’s hope they are doing R&D to resolve this issue or may be an issue of quality control?

There is no solution to data corruption.  I posted in your other thread with some direction.  However, just so you know, I own two of these, one from when it first came out, and I have never had any issues with the drives.  And I throw data around on them daily.  You just always have to remember to safely remove them.  Just jerking out the cable, especially after having copied to the drive, is a major no-no.

Furthermore, relying on one drive to hold all your data is also a major no-no.  You need to always keep your important data in at least 2 locations.  I tend to use three.
