My USB Drive was working perfectly for the last 6 months. If you have an old WD cable which has loose connection issue request a new improved one from WD) But still you may need third party Y connector, if you experience power starvation issue as I mentioned previously.Ģ) USB Power Starvation due to connection issues: If this is the case, you can either buy Y connector cable with USB A Female connector on drive side or modify micro USB side jack (on the Y connector) by cutting off 1.2mm portion from the plastic jacket making male jack part lengthier. But length of WD micro USB male connector is somewhat long and standard micro USB connector won’t connect to WD drive properly. Please note that WD Passport supplied with USB micro connector and it is not proprietary. Writing smaller files in to disk drive may not exhibit this issue.Īs a remedy, you can purchase USB Y connector that would occupy two USB ports. Drive tends to drain peek power while writing larger files for longer period. Fuse may be disconnecting intermittently for a brief period causing drive/file system errors. But some PC’s are unable to provide adequate power to the drive due to above mentioned fuse tolerance. Technically these newer drives fit for USB only power source. Newer drives are capable of running under 500mA power drain but most of them needs 460mA or 480mA of current. So you need a new USB drive enclosure with external AC power adaptor, loosing portability. These drives needs an external power adapter capable of delivering 1A (1000mA) or more. If the drive is ticking, disconnect it immediately or you’ll end up with a physically damaged hard drive. So you’ll hear ticking sound inside the drive. Drives built many years back draws over 500mA current and are unable to spin-up on modern PC’s. Now let us look in to 2.5in hard disk drives. Low power devices (Pen drives etc.) may not exhibit this problem. Please note that this 1Amp fuse in motherboard may be shared to several ports so connecting multiple USB powered (Drives) devices simultaneously could still could be leading to power starvation on drives. Most of the newer desktop PC’s equipped with 1Amp (1000mA) self-healing fuse so drawing more than 500mA from a port may not be an issue. That means it could be disconnecting either on 450mA or 550mA of current drain.

This fuse inherits tolerance of 5-10% of 500mA plus or minus.
This fuse will heal itself once the offending device disconnects.

My USB Disk drive not properly reorganized Driver not installed properly My Disk drive and USB port are USB2 compliance but running at USB1 mode My pen drive/mouse/camera working perfectly on these ports but USB drive unable to connect etc.Įach USB port is capable of delivering 500mA 5Volts max and each port has built in semiconductor fuse that disconnects when external device power drain exceeds rated power output.

So upgrade your Windows PC or install PCI/ PCI Express card with USB2/3 functionality.ġ) USB Power Starvation due to computer motherboard limitations USB 1 compatible PC’s takes ages to transfer large files such as movies. You need USB 2 or 3 compatible interface on your Desktop/Laptop to make use of these newer external drives. I am a user of external USB powered disk drives for years and thought of writing a guide to help many in need of help…
