kerochan Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I have been saving wavs from Logic to a G technology, bus powered drive for about 4 years now with no problems, suddenly the drive seems to be making a clicky sound sometimes, and some sometimes the wavs are freezing up and I have to force quit. I haven't even used half the capacity if the drive! and as I say, its only 4 years old. Any pointers would be appreciated. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a new external HD asap! That's the sound of a failing HD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks David, I will get the data to another external drive I have, a powered one. Dont have the money to buy another external drive at the moment being a musician since the virus!

David Nahmani Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Ok, just expect that drive to fail at any moment from now on, and consider any data that is on that drive as volatile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understood David, I have a spare powered drive with a large capacity, I can transfer everything to there for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
