Hi, I’d like to check the correct functioning of my WD Elements 1Tb external disk drive, since it doesn’t save the data as it used to do sometime ago. I can’t see any sign of external damage, and the drive is visible from the Windows Explorer. I did recently a reformatting, but only managed to do a quick format using the format utility provided by windows 8.1 because the long formatting was taking ages to complete, only 2% every few hours. So I’d like to check the integrity of the disk and wonder if there are any utilities provided by WD to do this. I downloaded the WDDriveUtilities but apparently they don’t detect my disk drive.
Any help appreciated
Regards
