I brought it home and started figuring out a new backup scheme.

I decided that this drive was so good-looking and so small and had such capacity that I wanted it to be my main drive and I would backup to my other drive.

For a brief moment in time, every important file in my life existed only on the 1TB My Passport.

Yes. I took a chance.

Well, in that briefest of moments, the drive failed.

Ive got a backup elsewhere, but it is from 6 months or more ago.

I was opening files and not having problems.

I copied some MP3s over and poof I got a message saying that the folder was unavailable.I opened up the folder (it did still exist) and now it was empty.

Waited a while. Plugged it back in.

Guess what. No folders at all.

But wait I checked again later and the folders were there, but they were all empty.

According to the system, 290GB was indeed used all the files I copied over but they were no longer available.

If I try to check the disk, it gets to 90 and says it was cancelled, though I cancelled nothing.

If I try to run anything on the Virtual Smartware CD, it would say There is an error.

Unfortunately, youre probably looking at data recovery to retrieve your files.

When I shop for this drive, I carefully read where it was made the fact it is lucky that made in Thailand however, the same with those drive that made in China.
