    WD-My Passport 2 TB


    Hi:

    My WD My Passport USB hard drive shows as "currently in use", with a continuously flashing LED. This starts up randomly. I am unable to eject this USB device, and only way that I am able to stop it is to restart Windows.

    Is this a sign of its age? It is nearing Full; about 146 GB available free space. I wonder if it is time to reformat or retire this USB drive.

    Have you tried using WD Drive Utilities program to test your drive? Available on the WD web site:
