![]() I’ve tried using the WD diagnostic tools, on the MAc version it shows the drive and lists it as 2TB and reports that it fails the SMART test. In the disk management utility I can see the drive but it won’t initialise which makes sense as it’s likely to be formatted with HFS - I do have Macdrive installed so that I can read my mac formatted drives however. If I plug the drive into my PC desktop, the same sequence occurs with the bleeping and LED flashing, after a couple of minutes I get the safely remove hardware icon in the taskbar which also mentions the drive name. So at the very least it’s being reported somewhere on my machine! The drive doesn’t show up in Disk Utility but if I look at the info in System Information I can see the drive listed under the USB section. The drive does not show up on my desktop, I have the drive formatted for my mac, but maybe I chose ExFAT…either way it still refuses to mount… After about a minute or so after the bleeping has stopped the LED flashes a lot slower. When I plug the drive in, I hear a bleeping noise, whilst the LED rapidly flashes. ![]() I bought a 2TB My Passport about 2 months ago and it seems to have failed already - doesn’t fill me with confidence should I decide to buy another WD drive - but that’s another story…
