External HDD not responsive / Solution
Hi guys,
I don't know whether this is the correct place to communicate this like this but,
I keep a lot of really important business data on board a WD External HDD, and a couple days ago i FREAKED out to find it non responsive.
I plugged it in to the usb 3.0 port, it spinned and - nothing.
Gone through all ports - nothing!
Attached it to my Windows 10 tablet too in its 3.0 usb port - nothing!!
Man I could feel my feet go out on me literally. Sweating buckets!
So from, may god forgive me - all the swear words I did say and a couple of shutdowns, nothing really happened.
The drive just spinned and stopped.
I have no idea why this happened but - I hit restart and voila. All up and running again and working!
So guys, if you have SSDs and have turned on fastboot, remember a lot of your issues and nerves can be solved by a simple stupid restart.
I don't know why this happened. Happy like a little baby my stuff is secure.
I did get value out of this board - hope this helps some of you too.
