Hi ArunKumar191093,

It’s possible that the USB cable of your WD My Passport drive is faulty and that is why the drive is not being detected. Try to change the USB cable of the drive and also try to use the drive on a different computer as well to check if this is a computer specific issue. It’s also possible that the USB port on the computer might be bad so try to connect the drive on different ports to check if it’s being detected. To know more about how to troubleshoot the DAS devices refer to the link below:
