WD Utilities Complete drive test fails to finish

I have a My Book Duo which I have some problems with. I am currently doing a complete drive test and it has been stuck on 10% for over 12 hours. Does this indicate some kind of failure with this device?

I suggest Seatools which works with everyone’s hard disk and SSD, can run short and long self test and it also can wipe storage which is hand for hard disks as this can help the disk recover bad blocks etc

Twelve hours at 10% is not normal. It could be bad sectors a USB connection issue or the enclosure hanging while reading the drive. Try a different USB port and cable then rerun the test. If it still freezes back up your data as soon as possible because the drive could be starting to fail.
