o.t. lang po...

bro. boybi... may nakita ako sa sulit 1 tera- toshiba 3,250 lang.... good buy na ba yun? nabagsak kasi nung office mate ni wifey HD ko nasira....

Mura na yan. Around 10k ko pa nabili 2tb na WD sa HK.

Try to replace muna the enclosure. Mura lang naman.

The enclosure doesn't have anything to do with the hard disk inside. It's just a casing, no electronic parts.

You probably didnt see it pero meron siyang ganito. In my case yan ang nasira so i had to change its enclosure kasi wala nabibiling ganyan lang (dont know what you call that part).

Walang ganyan yung WD Passport. Walang detachable component yung hdisk. Casing lang ang natatanggal.

That's odd. Can you post a pic of the hdd?
Does it have this?

Wd my passport usb3 failure - Hard Drives - Storage

I've already taken it out and still cannot be recognized by the PC. There were times it will connect and I was able to transfer some files but it will just disappear.

faulty hardisk kaya hindi na ma recognize. sometimes it will and sometimes it won't. i back-up and retrieve my files and do a clean format sa hardisk ko.... pero tingin ko lalabas ulit ung ganyan problem na un in the long run.
