The drive shows up in Device Manager as working properly and any diagnostic tools show the correct capacity and volume of data but the folders remain inaccessible and my PC seems to struggle to perform some tasks while the drive is attempting to start. After connecting it to an internal SATA port and power cable my PC failed to boot so it seems it is the drive itself which is the problem. I have removed the drive from its enclosure to see if the casing was the problem. I'm not getting the distinct 'click' of a dead drive, just repeated quiet attempts to get itself going. The drive functioned normally for an amount of time but a while ago it started failing to spin up. I have a Western Digital Elements 1Tb external drive which contains around 490Gb of data.(The drive itself is a WD Caviar Green, 32Mb cache)
