Perhaps I purchased the wrong product. I have purchased three 1 tb units. Two are working ok. I am using the units as external drives. The data is very stable. I just do a drag and drop. Today I tried to access one of the 3 drives. Its properties show 644 giga bytes. I cannot get to the data I draged and droped
On the other two drives, when I plug them in, I see two references for each of the drives. for example I will see “WD SmartWar e(E)” Right after I will see a reference to the data in this case “Long Term 2 (F)” In this drive I seee my data. So I know that this product dan be used as a depository of files. by the way I am not totally dead. I copies the same data to all three drives. So I have a main and two backup of my data.
In the problem drive all I see is "WD Smartware (F). I do not see the second referenc to my data. Another thng is that cannot do a drag and drop to the “WD SmartWare (E)”. The properties if te problem drive show that 644 gigbytes are used of the 1 tb drive. How can I get to the 644 gigabytes of data.
Did I buy the wrong product. I am not using the software provide in the drive. My backup stategy is to just do a total backup of everything before I go to bed. i do not trust backup software. I just backup everything.
Fixed problem <<<<< I reformated the device
