Maybe it wants to act as an internal SATA drive, but it is connected through USB. None have this problem.īecause the above mentioned harddrive is an external drive (USB) but every bit of information I can find says it should be an internal drive, I fear that something has gone wrong with perhaps configuration/firmware of the drive or putting the wrong drive in the external case. I have five other external WD hd's: two 120gb passports, two 500gb elements (older model, silver) and one 1TB passport. I tried formatting the drive to both FAT32 and NTFS, same problem.
My laptop runs Windows XP 32-bit, and has the same problems with it. Usually Windows copies about 600mb of it straight away, after that the speed just drops and drops and drops while the HD access light is flickering. When I plug it in, Windows detects it as a "WD10EADS" but as far as I can find, all retailers and even the WD site say this is an internal hard drive. I bought a Western Digital Elements 1TB external hard drive.
