I bought six new HDD WD Blue 1TB (WD10EZEX) yesterday.
I’ve tried three of them and all three are doing the same problem.
I format them as Basic GPT. I use windows 10.
I’ve tried them one by one, not all together.
After I format them I tried to copy some files from another hdd I already had in my computer to the new hdd. Just few seconds after it starts copying files, the copy speed is going down to zero and the whole copy is freezing and very fast the whole computer is slowing down. I’ve tried to format them and copy files many times, many restarts. Always the same problem.
One time after the whole computer freezed, I just disconnected the new hdd from the sata and the computer went back to normal again immediately.
After many tries, I tried to format one of the six wd hdds as Dynamic GPT and it worked fine, copying files perfect. But I don’t want to use them as Dynamic, I want to use them as Basics.
Why does this happen??? Are the HDDs faculty? Do I have to return them as DOA? I never ever had this problem again in my whole life.
