Then, when I tried transferring a large file, I heard several loud clicks or ticks (5-10 seconds apart), then it got disconnected. Today, I have connected it, and it connected and showed up. In those two times, I have disconnected the cable and reconnected it and the drive worked fine after that. Also, two times (separate dates) after connecting the cable the drive would spin up but the LED was not showing at all. So, I restarted my laptop, and it showed up. Also, one time I have connected the drive and it did not show up. That worked out fine for more than a year.ĭuring the year I have encountered a single disconnect. I would have to plug it into the USB port (USB3) and not make the slightest move near it. I have noticed after buying it that the cable was pretty sensitive. I put the important stuff on it, then take it off and shelve it.
Hello, I am using My Passport 4TB external drive for a while (very lightly) but only for backups.
