So this is a wierd hardware type of mystery....
i have a 2tb western digital external hard drive. usb 3 etc.
supposibly my ex wife dropped water on it or something...
no burn smells.
of course computers and everything else dont "read" it
BUT PS3 and PS4 BOTH PLAY MOST FILES, but cant copy them usually maybe the small files.
So im wondering why the PS systems can detect and somewhat use the drive and others refuse or freeze.
im pretty sure the drive is useless, but someday i might rip it open and try to use it as an internal...but find it hard to believe a "case transfer" will fix the problem, even with a format. the files are media so no biggie, but still.
