Ran checkdisk, and now all is well again. Seemed to work OK, but then I noticed 75% of my folders were absent, and others could not be opened. I thought I’d try a different model, so just purchased the 4-TB “My Passport” version (not the metal/ultra one). (Fixed using CMD prompt, chkdsk utility. Have had a host of problems: Computer thinks drive needs to be formatted. I purchased a My Passport Metal Ultra 4-TB drive, and nothing but trouble. I have had VERY reliable function with my previous 1-TB and 2-TB drives (both My Passport style). WD - My Passport Ultra 2TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive - Silver. OK, I’m having some trouble with 4TB drives. The previous price for this item was 129.99. User rating, 4.7 out of 5 stars with 316 reviews.
#WESTERN DIGITAL MY PASSPORT 4TB EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE RPM FOR MAC#
The drive does go with me to work (in a carefully-handled briefcase) I don’t drop it or throw it around. WD - My Passport for Mac 4TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive - Blue. Of course, with these 4TB drives, the power light seems to blink interminably even when laptop is off–I tend to disconnect the drive when the blinking light is “off”. I have even taken to “shutting down” the laptop before disconnecting the drive. The drive has about 3 TB of data on it (not over-full).
I’ve been able to run a fix and save nearly all my data every time this happens, but I’m spending a whole lot of time trying to “fix” the disk, that it is driving me crazy.īefore you suggest “safe eject”, powering down, and gentle handling…YES, I’m doing all these things. Permissions denied (found a complicated fix for this also).Folders or files go missing, or are unable to be opened (Usually CheckDisk fixes this problem, too.).
