I just bought my third external USB2 drive - Western Digital MyBook
320GB (good pice n my area), and I have a problem I haven't encountered
with my other drives.
I just did a COPY/PASTE from the WD to my HDD, and it took much too
long - 140 seconds for a file of about 1GB. I REMOVE the HDD, plug it
into another USB port, and now it is OK (35 sec). I plug another drive
into either port, and it is OK. I plug the WD into the first port, and
it is now OK. I reboot with the WD powered up, and it is slow again. I
remove it and replug, and it is OK.
WD diagnostics report no problems.
Any ideas as to what's wrong?
Thanks.
