I need to investigate this when I have the time. It started doing this shortly after the BB HD was installed.

I have BB running from the HD with no apparent issues and I'm able to access the Western Digital drive so it's a bit puzzling.


I've found that sometimes its necessary to open a USB drive case and simply disconnect the internal hard drive from the circuit board plug and reinsert same, mechanically cleaning and possibly also realigning internal contacts and establishing good connections again.

That routine is now a routine maintenance item with my own gear s well as when I'm out on consults and the client is dependant on usb drives.

To date this has solved every one of those kind of problems. Some day it will likely actually be a bona fide bad drive, statisically speaking, but I must say I have yet to encounter that, at home or out in the field on these USB drive cases.

Carefully figure out how to open the case without forcing or damaging, disconnect the drive and immediately reconnect it, put the case back together.
