I have an elements 2 TB hard disk which isn’t really working anymore.
When I connect it with my laptop (or any other laptop) it shows all the files but when I start to copy a file in or out of hard disk the transfer rate gets down to few hundred bytes per second after starting at 30-40 MBPS. I am not even able to run a disc check on it because of this issue.
Any thoughts on how I can solve this without voiding my warranty?
I was trying to transfer photographs from HDD to my laptop. When it didn’t work, I tried doing so on other machines but got exactly same issue. The transfer starts with standard 35-38 MBPS but quickly goes down to 100-200 KBPS and stays there.
I ran windows disk utility but it took 4 hours to complete 3% and hence I stopped it. Reconnecting the drive brings up the speed which quickly goes down in 5-7 seconds.
Raised a replacement request today as I couldn’t find any solution anywhere; this was going on from some time and I was researching but couldn’t find anything.
