Hey guys,
I had to force eject my new Seagate STBX2000401 Portable USB drive yesterday and it has been acting strangely ever since.
It is now taking ages to show up on my desktop when I plug it in. I thought it was not appearing at all but I went to Disk Utility and it was there. After restarting my MBP (running Yosemite) it eventually showed up on my desktop.
The light on it also flashes sometime even when it is inactive (not sure is this is normal).
I just noticed a new folder has appeared also next to my other folders on the drive called, "lost+found" which contains a bunch of .txt files. I have attached a link to a screenshot:

The folders seem to have been created today at the time I restarted my mac but the empty .txt files say they were created on 30th Dec 2014 (in "Get Info")
Does anyone know whats going on with it? Has it got problems and if so do I need to get my data off it? Can I eject the drive or will it damage it further?
