Hello
I have this external hdd since years ago. Now it doesn't read by my pc I bearly could see emwhat files I side but couldn't transfer them to another hdd. It keeps lagging the PC, really slow with browsing it and even when I tried to format it via win10 format, it took like 5mins to done quick format. Now I try to move some files to it and the 5mb file took 30mins and at last it didn't transfered and it told there is error while copying.
Anyway, is there a way to fix this hdd by a software or hardware? Anyway 1 suffered such an issue?
Also is there a way to connect it to my pc via sata? Cause I opened it from the plastic cover but I found strange pins not like other normal USB hdd which can connect them to pc by removing the front convertor of data and power
