Its been happening for some time now, that when I copy some files on my ehdd to pass to another pc when I try to open them I get errors or problems, is there any way to fix it? Its a seagate 4Tb that has little over a year in use.

Thanks

Havent tried different usb cables, dont have any lying around, if nothing else works i will get one.
tried it on different pc and the same problem, also different usbs
Its the Seagate Backup Plus 4TB Portable External Hard Drive USB 3.0, model#r:srd00f1
Did the tests and sadly it failes the short generic one, Im doing the long one hoping that the bad sector will be "fixed" and it can be usable again, if not it really wasnt that good of a ehdd or I had really bad luck
