Problem with External Drive


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

When I seem to plug an External HDD in to my usb 2.0 port and when the drive is on for like 20 mins or more its comes up saying Delayd Write Failer, Why is that? Problem with my Computer?

it might be the cable, the housing, or the drive itself.

the drive might be corrupt in a way, if you have parition magic, you should run that and see if it comes up with any drive partitioning errors, i know 8.0 will fix it, although sometimes it doesnt start because it doesn't recognize the drive letters, i have no idea how to fix that.

you might try defragmenting the drive, but other than a corrupt file or something im not sure what else to say.

It could be the voltage (power) of your ports so the signal isn’t clear enough. Looks like a bad motherboard design although other devices work.

I would return you external box and get an other model, if that doesn’t work get an other mobo or look for an other external solution.
