So I have a slightly odd problem....or hopefully not. This hard drive is trying to destroy itself with heat, by not ever shutting off.
The hard drive in question is a Seagate go-flex 3tb external hard drive. This is a certified repair from Seagate.
I can never eject it. I tried making sure no processes or anything like that are accessing it. I may be missing a process but I tried a lot different things: Sharing, explorer, Avast. tuneUp
-I tried Unlocker, no luck
-I tried changing it to quick removal, no luck.
-Indexing has been turned off. no luck.
When I turn my computer off, the har drive is still spinning. It is the only one of my 3 external hard drives. I have a 4tb Seagate that I cannot eject, but it does stop spinning.
When I turn the power toggle on the PSU off, it finally stops spinning. I turned all of my power management in the USB controller to off.
Any ideas. Let me know if I missed any information.
Thank you,
Ser
