[QUOTE="JaredDM, post: 2107524, member: 62338"] Unless you've backed up the data first, long test is a very bad idea. The drive is likely suffering from the WD slow responding firmware bug which develops after the drive starts to get bad sectors. I'd be if you are able to read the S.M.A.R.T. data you'll find that it has a lot of bad and pending sectors. It's an easy enough fix to get the drive working long enough to get the data back. But the drive is a gonner afterward. [/QUOTE]
