Hi,
My Seagate desktop external drive (s/n: 2GHJNY0Q) dropped a while ago.
It does connect to my laptop and I feel the disk of the hard disk spinning. However after about 20-25 minutes, it stops spinning and dis/re-connecting doesn’t solve the problem. The small light of the hard disk does stay on (green).
After 24+ hours or days (sometimes longer) its able to connect again and the disk spin, the cycle repeats itself.
I am not able to recover a lot in the 20 minutes. I wonder if this is an electrical issue or something wrong with disk or other components.
Have you guys come across such a challenge with your own storage devices or perhaps read something related on this site or elsewhere?
I’m looking forward to your suggestions and help.
Thank you in advance!
