An increase in HDD's becomming formatted to RAW.
Had this happen today after the 14926 update. Went to save the .esd to my 2TB WD hard drive and received an error that the HDD was no longer there. Disc management revealed it was now formatted to RAW, all my data is gone. I see others are having similar occurrences of this so, what is causing such a disaster? My Green drive is 13 months old, is is currently passing all of WD's Data Lifeguard diagnostics although not completely finished. Is it W10 doing this? Why doesn't W10 warn the user it is about to reformat your drive? Is it WD? If I go the RMA route, and get a replacement, and it happens again? Comments appreciated.
