it depends on the problem though. (which you failed to mentioned... exactly)
I had an issue recently .... the drive would get really slow at reading and/or transferring files.
Tried a few solutions and nothing worked.
Finally I just RMA the drive back to the manufacturer. (it was still on warranty)
Not without transferring (painfully slow) the data to other drives.
Now everything works normal again.
