1TB WesternDigital Black - Delayed write fail

[woofercooker]

I recently purchased 2 of these i have installed my OS and programs etc onto one of them and this unit is working fine however i installed the second along side for extra storage. When i try to copy over a file i get Delayed write fail and the drive disappears from my computer until i restart.

I have tried a new sata cable and the problem still persists, any ideas its brand new!

error codes would get a better answer

This started happening on two separate WD external drives. Short time after they both died completely.

Get whatever you need off the drive and contact the retailer to get a replacement.
