I have aWD External drive that I've been using for a few months now. I recently moved it and and now it's moving extrememly slow. It's also slowing down the computers I plug it into. I tried checking for new drivers, I really don't want to have to format, and Itried unplugging and replugging. All that got me is the laptop takes forever to recognise it again.

Hi,

Please do run a test with the external HDD to check if it's already faulty or not.

Here's the link that should tell you how to run the test and the software that you'll use to run the test.
