So a while ago I spilt sprite into my computer and it kinda just mucked everything up including the external hard drive plugged into it, tried replacing the cable to see if it helped by it still has issues staying connected and is also noticeably a lot slower when transferring files to and from it than before.
I am going to buy a new one but I want to know if there was anything to possibly try and fix it, or maybe some other way to use it? ( Seagate Backup Plus Portable Hard Drive 1TB - p/n: 1K9AP1-502 ) Was also wondering of any possible suggestions as well. Thanks : ]
How slow is slow? First thing I’d suspect is possibly dodgy cable and/or connectors forcing it down to USB 2 speeds.
Popping it open and taking the drive out to attach it internally over a SATA cable would be possible if it’s a desktop.
Can’t give an exact number but, I used it mainly for recording games, around an hour or two recordings w OBS, and when I’d click stop recording before it would take a max of 2 seconds to stop, but now it sometimes never stops and i end up having to close obs.
