WD5000AAKS Spins for 10 seconds then stops

Good Day from Canada,
My WD5000AAKS drive stopped running. I tried it in multiple external enclosures and noticed that it spins up for about 10-12 seconds and stops until I power cycle it again. No other unwanted noises or over-heating smell from the unit.

Hi YmWDderive18,

I would suggest to run Quick test from Data Lifeguard Diagnostic Tool to diagnose the health of drive.

Hello,

Thank you very much for taking the time to contact me. I will give it go. I was trying to find a controller board, but no luck.

Thanks again,

Cheers,
