Hi, We're sorry to hear about your experience with WD My Passport Portable External Hard Drive and appreciate your time for providing the review. Best practice is to run diagnostics with WD Drive Utilities when a drive does not perform as expected or is behaving abnormally. We recommend avoiding USB hubs for external hard drives and therefore connect the drive directly to a USB 3.0 port on the computer. Please refer to the WD support page to know more.

To know the steps to create an RMA, you can refer to the WD support page.
