Hi guys,
I wanted to run a backup today, so I turned on my external hard drive (WD Green - 1TB).
Usually I hear a whirling up noise and some faint chatter as it connects via e-sata to my desktop computer.
If I put my ear to the side of the drive enclosure, I hear a very faint sound. I also don't see the usual green light on the front of the enclosure.
I turned it off, reconnected it's power supply and e-sata cable. Then turned it on again via it's on/off button.
The drive popped up in windows explorer. I'm currently running chkdsk /r on it to see what happens.
-Could the enclosure be at fault, or the drive itself?
