Hi,

Have a western digital external 3tb hdd with movies etc on it..
Had it for several years and sometimes i didn't detect it, but most of the time it did..

Now it's been 3+ weeks and its still not detecting it?
I've followed the steps on this link but the problem is that it's not beeing detected anywhere..
I've replugged the usb cable into all possible usb ports and non detect it..

Would it be safe to asume that it has died on me?
