Ill get it done immediatelyif other cable works means your current cable not able to supply enough power to your ext hdd. if other cable also same...faster backup your data, it is going to die anytime.  |

QUOTE(Skylinestar @ Nov 4 2016, 10:13 AM) i had a hdd that had ticking sound... and it worked for another 5 yrs. so it's pure luck. That ticking sound was 2 years ago and yes today still working. however, u should have a backup habit, regardless the condition of your hdd.  yea. Backup is the only way. |
