I have a WD 4tb internal drive which I have had since earlier this year for storage on my PC running windows 7. I have no issues with this drive and it worked well until earlier today, I was transferring a folder, about 5.5gb with a dozen or so files which I accidentally deleted from it's original location as well as from the recycle bin before it finished transferring.
Since then, I have had trouble with the backup drive being slow to respond, occasionally showing the Not Responding text before whichever folder or file I click on opens.
I have reset my pc, done a benchmark and quick error scan on HDtune as well as an error scan on the windows diagnostic tool in the properties menu when I right click the drive. Everything seems normal according to the results and I have been able to move and transfer files from the drive to another backup at regular speeds. On Event Viewer, I see this iaStorAC warning but I've been getting it frequently on this pc and drives on and off, so I don't know if it's related.
The only issue remains the slow opening of files and folders when I try to click on them or open them.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
