Hello,
I recently acquired a 1TB external hard drive. Its a simple plug and play device. It didnt get recognised on the first 2 usb ports I tried, but on the rest of the USB ports the device got recognised and I started transferring files from my HP laptop to the device. All went fine and fast. However after copying 2 folders, I cant copy anything else anymore. The only file ive been able to copy to my external drive since then was a 1mb large screenshot sitting on my desktop, anything else gets stuck at calculating time and literally nothing happens, even if its a simple 6mb large file.
I tried connecting the hard drive to my PC but it has the same issue. Both on my PC and on my laptop the device shows up in the hardware manager and can be accessed, all files that have been copied to it are visible, and all files already on it can be copied from the external drive to the HDD, but as I said I cant copy anything from my pc or laptop to the HDD. It doesnt give any errors, it just doesnt do anything at all.
What started happening at the same time is that when I plugged the external hard drive in to the laptop or PC it would say that 'there are problems with this device, please do a check up on the drive to fix it' (or something along those lines, rough translation from German) and when I do, it cant find any issues.. Really hope you guys might be able to help me fix this thing or else ill have to send it back I suppose and wait a month or so for a new one..
Cheers for the support in advance!
