My external hard drive works well when I use it in USB 2 but don't work in USB 3. My computer has only USB 3. I bought a USB hub with both USB 2 & 3 and use the external hard drive in USB 2 of that hub. It works fine.

The first one worked... plugging in to different port worked....thanks

and what if the disk takes a long time to load and blocks the entire computer? and you can't do anything with it.. only the blue circle keeps spinning.

Risk management is still telling me to format the disk…is it going to affect data I have on it already? 2:49

I tried to clean it and that worked but making partition it fails in the command prompt. and in the create and format hard disk partitions it says unknown not initialized when I try to initialize it says Request Failed Due to a Fatal Device Hardware Error
