I am sorry if the answer to my question is posted somewhere already but I can't seem to find it.
I have (probably should say had) a 1 TB Western Digital My Book Premium Edition II external hard drive. Now the drive does not work and I'm not exactly sure why. When I run the RAID manager it tells me that the status is bad. I disconnected it from the computer and power source, reinstalled it, restarted the computer, and anything else that the WD website said to do or I could possibly think of. I think the drives (there are 2 500 GB) themselves are bad because when I turn on the external hard drive it makes a clicking sound. I was thinking about replacing the drives but not sure if I could and if I could which model to get. The Model is WD5000KS. I've seen WD5000AAKS and another model but can't remember what it was but the only difference was the last 2 letters. Can they replace the WD5000KS? And do I have to replace the drives with 500GB or can I get larger size?
PLEASE HELP ME BEFORE I EITHER PULL ALL MY HAIR OUT OR THROW THE WHOLE COMPUTER OUT THE WINDOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've spent most of my day today trying to find answers and if you couldn't tell I'm a little frustrated. Thanks.
