Other Common Problems with WD10EZEX-60ZF5A0 Drives
Clicking Drive
If your drive is clicking, power it down immediately! This could be a sign of a mechanical issue, such as a head crash.
Bad Sectors
Bad sectors generally signify surface damage, degrading magnetic head reading capabilities, or the end of life of the hard drive.
ROM/NV-RAM
EPROM or NV-RAM becomes corrupt and locks out data access. The data will need to be manually adjusted and reprogrammed to the PCB.
Translator
Corruption of system area translator modules results in loss of data access and requires a “hot swap”.
