The drive shows up in Device Manager as working properly and any diagnostic tools show the correct capacity and volume of data but the folders remain inaccessible and my PC seems to struggle to perform some tasks while the drive is attempting to start. But it could be a different version of WD10EADS (2 platter vs 3 platter) and maybe thats why it worked. After connecting it to an internal SATA port and power cable my PC failed to boot so it seems it is the drive itself which is the problem. S2 540 that I had an opportunity to test with WD10EADS worked great on my end.
I have removed the drive from its enclosure to see if the casing was the problem. I'm not getting the distinct 'click' of a dead drive, just repeated quiet attempts to get itself going. Always on the cutting-edge of technology and pushing the boundaries of innovation, we’re dedicated to making the impossible, possible. The drive functioned normally for an amount of time but a while ago it started failing to spin up. Apply for Western Digital Credit and get an exclusive rebate of 200 or 500 off.
