Mi disco duro WD elements de 1 TB se enciende, su luz se enciende (estatica sin parpadear) y al parecer trabaja, pero mi pc no lo reconoce, no aparece en el Administrador de Dispositivos ni en el administrador de discos.

¿A que se debe esto?

Western Digital Elements HD: Mi HD se ha vuelto "solo lectura". WD ELements 4TB

Wed, 06 Nov 2019 22:55:09 -0700

Tengo un disco externo WD Elements de 4 Tb, conexión USB 3. Tras un apagón, quedó bloqueado en una especie de modo “solo lectura”. Puedo leer lo que había en él, pero no escribir, ni formatearlo, ni eliminar la partición. Al hacerlo, el sistema se refiere a él como si se tratase de una memoria SSD que estuviera protegida contra escritura.

¿Alguna idea? ¿Alguien ha tenido un percance parecido?

Gracias

Western Digital My Passport Ultra: Prying open hard drive

Mon, 06 Apr 2026 10:19:27 -0700

Hello - the actual external hard drive I have is a Western Digital easystore 2TB hard drive. The reason I chose the My Passport Ultra is because its practically the same size, form and shape as the easystore EXHD I have. Unfortunately earlier this year when I was getting my new computer all setup, I dropped this hard drive of mine on the floor as it was on top of the CPU. Now, the hard drive just makes a clicking noise every time I plug it in. I wanted to see if there was a way I can extricate the hard drive itself from the case and use a recovery reader I have . However, it seems impossible to do with no way to slither my way through the edge of the hard drive casing.

Thank you

-Jordan

Western Digital My Book 2020: How can I replace the USB Port after being damaged

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 01:18:36 -0700

My MyBook fell to the floor right where the USB connector plugs into the USB port. It has no symptoms of hard drive damage but I believe it needs a new connection port that is unique.

External Storage: Reusing VanTec NexStar NX enclosure (NST-239S3B-BK)

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 06:55:24 -0700

This enclosure has a pulled HDD (500 GB) from an Apple Mac mini (Macmini4,1; Mid 2010). The HDD does not seem to be working. Have tried reseating sled into SATA connector. Have a couple of pictures of HDD and a screws

holding the HDD to sled. Any suggestions about HDD failure?

If no function of HDD, would like to remove HDD from sled and install a new SSD. The picture of screw is not very sharp. Making an ID of screws not easy. Do not have the bit to fit screws. If screws are ID, can buy screwdriver from ifixit store.
