Ηι ! Hi i have a freeagent desk 1.5TB for 3 years now and this morning when i power up my pc it couldn't recognised it. I change USB port and after a while my system recognised it. I run the test drive from freeagent software and it failed to pass . I downloaded Sea tools for windows and those are the results :

Fails Seatools test= Replace drive.

If you need the data, back it up or look into data recover options then replace the drive..

Best of luck.

To all users: If your data is stored ONLY on an external hard drive, then it is NOT a backup. A BACKUP is having the data stored in TWO or MORE locations. If it is only in ONE location, you don't have a backup at all. If the data is important to you, then have it stored in multiple locations to prevent data loss.
