Hello,
Hello,
I cannot open an eGo IOMEGA external hard drive. The power LED blinks correctly
Model 31823400 RPHD-UG.
The connection cable to the computer has two USB connectors that I connect either to a Windows 7 PC, a Windows 10 PC, or an iMac. No success: the folders do not display,
This hard drive is normally used on Windows 7.
To eject the hard drive, I have to wait a very long time (about 20 minutes) and sometimes the hard drive never ejects.
I also cannot reset it
It should be noted that since its purchase, this hard drive has never worked well. I always had to redo the actions to retrieve a file.
Do you think I can recover the files or at least reset the hard drive and use it normally again?
Thank you and have a great end of the week.

Hello,
Check the USB cable of your hard drive, if your cable is good it could either be the enclosure or the hard drive, I think it's more likely the enclosure containing the hard drive or at least its internal connection that has a problem, but to be sure you need to take the hard drive out of the enclosure and test it by connecting it to a PC, if it's the enclosure you just need to buy a new one.
