My broken Sony Vios was saved of approximately 2 million dolllars in intellectual data, including math a code for educational purposes. My broken Sony Vios was saved of approximately 2 million in intellectual data, including math code for educational purposes. This external hard drive can work well by just plug and play. I like its versatility. Good value and the shipment was high quality. I had a specialist transpose my laptop onto another operating system in order to capture the user account onto my new external hard drive.

It work perfectly by just plugging in the USB and with only a couple of clicks it all came back up. I traced one of the software found in my downloads for windows photo gallery which is no longer in service for newer computers. I brought it back up in my new laptop and it facilitated perfectly for approximately 7,200 photo files with all original pixel strength. Now, I can keep unlimited files on an external had drive without loading down my new computer to incredible valued photo files, in addition to memory disks that I will upload at my convenience. Thank you for this type of operating system that is so user friendly. A great hard drive! This drive has lots of space and is accommodating my video and audio file transfers/copies nicely.

My computer only has USB 2.0 I/O's but this hard drive streams videos directly without any skips. I decided to change an APC 7-port hub with a cheap 10-port USB hub and had skips all over the place. Purchased a new Anker 14-port USB hub and everything is flawless including the streaming. The case is about a quarter inch taller than my older WD drives.

I liked this 4 TB drive so much that I purchased another one within 2 weeks.

Hi Guys, I have just bought a WD My Passport 1TB USB 3 External Portable HDD and I can not get my PC to recognise it when plugged in to a USB 3 socket. My mobo is an ASUS P8Z68-V LX with USB 3 sockets on rear. If I plug a USB 2 HDD in to a USB 3 socket, PC finds it within 2-3 seconds, If I plug my new WD HDD in to a USB 2 socket PC finds it.

But when I plug my WD HDD in to a USB 3 socket, PC makes the connection noise but doesn't find the drive. I have re-installed the ASMedia USB 3 drivers from the mobo disk, but nothing happens. Same result with the latest USB 3 update.

Even the latest WD drivers do nothing. I have tried updating the driver with device manager, tried adding HDD in Devices and Printers but I still can't get it to show when it's in a USB 3 socket. PLEASE can someone shed some light on this, I am going crazy trying to figure this out. I already have 1xUSB 2 HDD, now all I want is my USB 3 HDD to work. If any more info is needed, just ask and I will post it,( if I have it). Any and all help is greatfully recieved. Thanks in advance to one and all.

@tapper HDD is portable, so no power cable and if I plug hdd in while pc is off, when I turn pc on it hangs after p.o.s.t. @ELMO HDD does not show up at all in disk management. All this only happens when the hdd is plugged into a usb 3 socket.

It works perfectly in a usb 2 socket, and my usb 2 hdd works great in the usb 3 socket. I just can't get the usb 3 hdd to show up in the usb 3 socket. My mobo bios is up to date, and all usb 3 drivers are current as well. Hope that makes it a bit clearer. We have descuento casino puerto madero. I don't have access to another usb 3 system, but there shouldn't be anything wrong with mine, I built it myself about 9 months ago. I found a post on another site that said an overclocked mobo can stop a WD hdd working in usb 3 because they are sensitive to voltage change. So I put my mobo back to stock speed and tried that, guess what?

Nothing It also said to turn off usb 3 charging in bios, so I did, guess what? Nothing I've tried several settings combo's in bios but still can't get it to show up. It does show up in device manager as a 'usb mass storage device' with that little yellow triangle warning. Tried updating drivers from there, tells me best drivers are already installed. The most I get is the 'Device connected' sound, so that means something should show up somewhere, right.no. I'll give it a couple more days, if I can't get it working I will return it to the store and see about a different brand, but this time try to get it tested in a usb 3 system before I leave the store.

I have solved the problem today. While I was looking round my files this morning I found a link to a website (Station Drivers) containing, among other things, USB 3 drivers. Don't know where I got the link from but I'm glad I did.

I looked at the ASMedia 104 driver and it was newer than the one on the Asus website, so I downloaded and installed it. Straight away I knew it was different cos when it had finished installing it said reboot required. It never said that with any of the other drivers I put in, all I got before was device ready. After pc rebooted I plugged my WB USB 3 HDD into the USB 3 socket and to my supprise, IT FOUND IT.YIPEEEE. So in the end it was an out of date driver. Driver version I used is ASMediaUSB3v1.16.2.0forWinXp/Vista/7/832/64Bits, if anyone is interested.

Thanks for the help anyway guys. @robie65 I fixed my problem and now USB 3 drive now works in USB 3 socket.

I found it to be a dirver issue, the latest ASMedia usb 3 driver on the ASUS website (v1.14.3.0) is over 12 months old, I found a later driver (v1.16.2.0) from October 2012 and that sorted everything out after a reboot. The site I found the driver on is called STATION DRIVERS and the drivers full title is Asmedia ASM1041/ASM1042 USB3 Controller Driver There are loads of other drivers there as well that might help you with other things All the drivers I have looked at have been later than the ones on the official websites Hope this helps and I hope you get your usb 3 working again. Hey there I just got a Samsung np530u4c-s02 and my wd hard disk makes the sound of being recognized but it wont install.aka ur same problem. I'm no that much of a tech wizard so I trie understanding how u solved the problem.i get it u downloaded some sort of driver. It would be great if u could help me find the driver I need o install for my ultrabook. Waiting for your reply.

Thanks, sara Hi Sara, Sorry about the delay, I have been away for a few days. I have done a bit of looking about for you and have found a Samsung Driver website that has a usb 3 driver (and quite a few others) for a NP530U4C.

The usb 3 driver is for windows 7 32 & 64 bit, there are other drivers for Win 7 and XP there as well. Here is the link to the site and I hope this sorts your problem out, I know how frustrating it can get.

Hi there, i have a macbook pro and have been using my wd my passport external harddrive for almost 2 years now to store all of my stuff. I dont know why, but today when i plugged in the external harddrive, it makes whirling sound like its working but the icon that always shows up in my finder didn't show up but the external harddrive is still whirling. I'm not sure what went wrong or what i should do. It seems like i should download some kind of driver?
