I've recently procured a WD Passport 1TB USB3.0 disk that needs some data recovery. I'm fairly certain it's a hardware related issue
There are some "features" of some USB hard disks (inc some WD ones I think) that have some effect between the OS and the hardware [possibly to do with encryption]. This is WIN/OSX only stuff. (*) I've got a drive that I can't use except on Windows and when I mount or partition it on Linux it turns up garbage. I am just mentioning it in case you have a similar drive that at one time appeared full of data but now seems corrupt that is also one of these drives. Good luck P (*) And I cant get the windows software until I prove that I am not from a terrorist country because of the US's idiotic encryption export laws.
