I have a Western Digital 1TB Passport external hard drive. I recently dropped it by accident ( roughly 1 metre from above the ground) onto marble tile.
It still works , but I've been noticing that it's a bit unstable. For instance, I have a lot of media files on the drive, and I usually plug and play those files directly on my computer. Now sometimes during a movie it would start to lag or the movie would freeze altogether and take a few seconds to resume. The external drive would for a few seconds not respond as well. This never happened before the drop.
So how can I find the problem with my drive, if any, and a solution.
Thanks in advance
