I just bought a Hitachi 1tb drive to use as an external drive. After putting the drive inside the enclosure, I wanted to copy some files to it. It starts okay, but, after a few seconds, it starts to slow down, and it takes minutes to finish the copying (that is just a 200mb file, should finish in a fe seconds at most). I tried two different model enclosures same result.
Anyone knows if this is a sign the hard drive is faulty. And, one observation, when I turn the drive from vertical to horizontal position, something moves inside the drive (with a click kind of noise). I know the older drives used to make such noise (though at lower dbs), but I want to know whether something is actually broken inside.
Thanks in advance...
