Hi guys, im pulling my hair out here and dont know what to do...
my external hdd started acting up a few months ago, disconnecting and reconnecting itself (no it wasnt pulling the usb out all on its own ;) ) ant then working fine for a few days once unplugged and plugged back in.
however i was playing out one night and my laptop froze up, luckily i had my ipod plugged into the mixer and quickly hit play to give myself time to sort it out, i noticed that the hdd enclosure was really hot to the touch, so instead of carrying on with it i unplugged and continued with a basic set that i had backed up on a dongle.
I thought that it may just have been a problem with the enclosure so the next day i bought a new one and all was good until last night, my computer popped up saying "a usb device has malfunctioned" i unplug and reconnect and all is good for about an hour.
has anyone had any experience with this?? i have managed to get about 90gb of music off it to use tonight! and i did a performance scan on the drive itself and it says that its working at 99%
im just a bit confused as to what to do?
cheers, brian.
