It's around half full at the moment, and I'm using a USB 3.0 port (although the lag still occurs on 2.0 ports). Is this what is causing the lag, and is this normal? I'm just curious, if anybody has a solution it would be greatly appreciated.Īdditional Information: I use the drive both as a backup for windows and for transporting large files (movies, music, photos etc) between PC's. One of my cores jumps to nearly 100%, and the others are unaffected, as well as memory usage.

Step 2: Right-click on the WD My Passport external hard drive, you'll see a context menu of many options, among which choose 'Format'. And sometimes it does open but it takes a awful lot of time. If they are there, please check if you can open the WD Passport Essentials hard drive via right click. Then you can check if they are listed in the Disk Management. To open the Disk Managerment, you just need input Diskmgmt.msc in the start search bar, then press Enter. Whenever I try to access it, my system hangs. Remove the WD MyBook first to narrow the cause.
