Wd My Passport 1 Tb Flashing Light Mac External USB

There are no unusal noises coming from the drive. All I get is a blinking light. I have a WD 1TB My Passport for Mac external USB drive that no longer mounts. My Passport Drive - blinking light, will not mount.

I tried to use it again today but it does not show in my Devices on Finder anymore. I used it on my Macbook a month ago and it worked fine. During that time we've been listening to our customers.I have a WD 2TB My Passport external drive.

It says the drive appears to be OK. What I have done so far:I ran First Aid on Mac's Disk Utility. There is no unusual noise. It is vibrating very lightly, like it always does.

Nothing ever shows up on Disk Utility.The WD Passport Ultra was plugged into my MacBook on battery. I tried opening up Disk Utility on my Mac, but it just spins forever trying to mount the external hard drive. It can be read on a Windows laptop (after Windows automatically fixed an error).

Because I'm at a point where WD's warranty can give me a new drive to replace it, or I can fix this drive myself. What is up in this case?I'm curious if this is something that happens a lot or if it's just a less durable hard drive I got. We tried plugging it into the Windows laptop again, and my files and photos could be read!! But it still can't be read on Mac and has the flashing problem.Why is it like this? What is broken? How can I test what is broken?I'm asking because I have had accidentally unplugged other WD external hard drives without ejecting in the past while not writing data, like in this case, but the drives never broke. After running for 3-5 minutes, my mom came in and unplugged the external hard drive forcefully (I yelled at her for doing that). I clicked 'Start' and let it ran, but it didn't have a progress bar and just had a 'Cancel' button.

It should be fairly obvious which one it is. Go over the list very carefully and select your external drive. Be extremely careful, do not tamper with the internal drives. When it opens you should see a column on the left with all your disks listed there.As you can see, this column has both internal and external drives listed there. There might be a volume mounting error or a format error, which can be fixed by using a function in disk utility called 'first aid'.On your Mac, spotlight search for disk utility.

You see the output The volume 'diskname' appears to be OK., but the problem still isn't fixed Next, click on repair.While doing this, please make sure no one yanks the cable out because that will be very, very bad. In the case of this, click on verify the disk. Click and let the magic happen! If it doesn't start right away, you may have a different version of macOS. A self explanatory button placed towards the start of the row on the top says first aid. If not, you can look at the storage capacity and check if it matches with your disk's (here, 4TB).Next you need to run first aid.

You could also try reformatting the disk, the steps for which I can edit in method looks promising too. Problems were found, but Disk First Aid cannot repair them.Then you can try to install and use DiskWarrior or try other solutions given on this thread.
