[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1072682, member: 46727"] Probably an electronics failure on the drive itself. The WD drives like most others have the controller and electronics on one board which is integrated on to the drive above the mechanism. If something on that board fails, you get what you experienced. Your drive should still be under WD warranty. (I believe it's three years on most of their externals) Give WD support a call and ask for a RMA. They may ask you to run some diagnostics first. If the drive should prove to be defective, they'll replace it with either a new or refurbished one. Regards. [/QUOTE]
