Common issues thread is useless for this issue. It only helps if the drive actually connects to your computer. It doesn't even address the beeping issue at all.
Well it does power up but then makes a periodic beep sound and doesn't connect to the computer. Since half a dozen people (at least) have the same issue on this forum, I think directly addressing that issue on the FAQ would be appropriate. The FAQ completely misses this case despite implying it has an answer for it.
And I shouldn't have to "buy another drive" to diagnose my problem. If it is a manufacturing oversight or defect then the last thing I want is two of them!
I'm with SamCa111 and I'm having the EXACT same problem. The FAQ does not address this issue. Please help. I DO NOT want to have to replace the drive to solve the problem. This thing has worked fine for 6 months and then all of a sudden one day all it does is beep with the yellow power strip on the top all lit up. Nothing changed. No new software, nothing. I 've tried it on 3 different PCs since the issue started and it is not recognized on any of them.
Well for a brand new drive I expect better reliability than that. Or resilience. I want to know how to tell what has died on it. "It must be dead" is simply not good enough.
