My passport usb 3 became too slow and now it cannot be opened

I don’t know what had just happened to the hardisk. I am transferring files from it but then it just became too slow to copy files. It took me 12hrs to transfer a file with a size of 1.6gb. After that i restarted my laptop. It took minutes to boot the portable hardisk not like before that it only took seconds. Now i cannot open the disk anymore, it say’s parameters incorrect. I have almost 900gb of files how can i be able to retrieve that and what can I do with my hardisk. I have a hardisk before, same model and same also had happened. It cannot be used anymore. Do these things normally happens because it’s my second time.

Looks like a drives partition got corrupted.

If the computer detects the drive but you can not open its content, you can try using a recovery software.

If the files are restored with a software you can use our Data Lifeguard Diagnostics to test and erase the drive in order to make it work again.

Follow the instructions on the link bellow.
