I have a Seagate HDD which I have put in a 'carrier' and have used it as an external drive via USB for backup purposes. there is nothing on it at present but today it slipped out of my hands and fell on the carpet. I am wondering how much of a knock these things can take before they 'break'
When I switch it on it does not always appear in the 'file explorer' area and neither does it appear in the 'Disk Drives' in the Device Manager but it does appear as 'L' in 'Portable devices' within the Device manager. When I click on it I get a box come up that says 'This device is working properly' when in fact it isn't.
Will the bump have seen it off?
