Delayed write / I/O errors
Alright, I've been trying to get data from my piece of shit WD My Book to my new Seagate drives, and it's hopeless. I kept getting delayed write errors, as well as I/O errors. The WD drive is so fucked up that I can't even format it.
I don't really care about the data anymore, and I unplugged it, and am ready to take it back to Costco for a refund (thank god for their return policy). My question is, do attempts in transferring data from error-prone drives harm the receiving drives in any way? I don't like the fact that my new drives have already been stressed/subjected to instances where it's trying to write and receive data that is constantly dropping out/unrecoverable. BTW, how the hell can I format this drive if I can't do it through Windows? I thought about running a magnet on it. Jam it back in, in the dark.  |

Looks like the failed format process had destroyed the drive permanently.
The drive reads with a capacity of 0 bytes; file system "RAW." There's nowhere I can't reach. |
