When you say, 'working forever' do you mean it's continually spinning? If you're noticing it start to spin and doesn't stop AT ALL and you can't access or get a drive letter then chances are the logic board (the circuit board on the bottom of the drive) is broken/faulty OR the adapter on the sata power and data ports is bad and needs to be replaced, that one is easier to replace than a logic board but you'll still need to contact the manufacturer or brand to see what your options are. Perhaps you could also scour ebay to find the replacement part.

i had to format it... there was no wah it would go ack to what it was... this is a really bad part of external HD.. oou can easily mess it up just by accident

i am sure it has to do with secors getting corrupted and making it impossible for the drive to be red.

now i have another issue with my new SSD ubs C device because IT will just disconnect randomly even though i have removed the power saving options

i think the drie is broken forever.. no it makes no bad sounds ... i might have dropped it without knowing
it keeps goign throught formating cycles and ends up not working anyway
