    My main 3T WD stand alone HD just quit i could not reach it, it just blinked it's light and i had the spinning ball on screen.

    Plugged it into another computer and got a message file system corrupted drive needs formatting.

    Glad i have three other stand alone HDs so i was not down and out with no files.

    I formatted the 3T and am now in the slow process of rebuilding it with files.

    If you don't have a back up system, i advise you to get one and keep it backed up.

    :)

    WD Black HD spins faster and system shuts down

    Hi,



    My desktop computer specification is:



    • Processor: AMD FX 8320
    • Motherboard: Asus M5A97
    • RAM: Kingston HyperX 16 GB (8*2)
    • HD: 1TB WD Black
    • Graphics Card: 2GB Saphire 5450
    • SMPS: Cooler Master 650W
    • OS: Windows 10


    I know HD spins constantly but sometimes it seems that HD is spinning faster or I means HD makes noise (especially while using virtual machines). And desktop computer shuts down automatically.



    Please let me know, what I need to check?



    Regards

    InTech

    Hi Team,

    I have upgraded my Dell inspiron laptop OS from windows 7 to windows 10. I used to connect my WD external HD to my laptop and it was easily accessible in my computer as if it is laptops internal drive.

    I tried solution of uninstalling and then installing HD but it didn't work.
