This question is in regard to an external WD hard drive. It is a WD my passport 2TB. I have read online about possible issues but can't seem to find one as my hard drive doesn't seem to match any symptoms listed.
Yesterday, all of a sudden, the hard drive transfer speed slowed to a crawl...about 355 KB/s. I think that's right, slow is all you need to really know. Anyways, I hear no clicking from the hard drive, it spins just fine inside the case, is detected by the computer, at first saying local disk and then a few minutes later showing the name, size and space available, I can explore the disk and see all the files and folders inside and can open them, although it takes forever for even a photo to display, but eventually does open. In disk management I can see the drive and it says the correct name, size, NTFS healthy primary partition. I'm attempting to create an image with macrium reflect and the program says there is 1550 hours, as of the writing, remaining. I'm willing to wait that long as these are things I don't want to lose, but also don't want to shell out big bucks to have the data recovered by professionals.
Any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
