Good day,

Ive been having a bit of trouble with one my WD 2TB green drives (WD20EADS) that I just can't figure out. There are numerous files on the drive that my computer has trouble reading (when watching a video it will suddenly stop playing, or when copying a file, it will stop at a certain point). However I do not get CRC errors or anything else, and running chkdsk or other tools on the drive finds 0 bad blocks and reports that everything is fine with the drive. Note that chkdsk takes several hours though, and will stop for a few minutes when it gets to the files in question, but it does not find any errors.

Is this an indicator that it is about to experience catastrophic failure, or is there a way to "fix" these problems?

Thanks for taking a look.
 
Wellll, my computer won't boot up anymore while the drive is plugged in. I guess that means it was trying to call for help!

Not too worried since everything is on DVD (will just take some time), but it is a bit disheartening since my Seagate 2TB also failed a few weeks ago.
