Finally I read in a forum to install the old USB 3.0 drivers meant for Windows XP /Vista and BINGO !! My WD my pasport 1TB is behaving like it should have from the first day. There are hotfixes from Microsoft but it didnot work for me.

Guys, its an issue with windows 7 (particxularly 64 bit version)and may be Windows 8.
After changing all the power settings/ installing the latest usb 3.0 drivers/installing a old version of WD smartware software(as suggested somewher as newer versions dont seem to work fine), installing the latest chipset drivers, I was still locked in a dead end.Īnother attempt tonight yieled the correct results. I now realise that I should have been cursing Microsoft instead. Own as asus n53sv-dh51 with Win 7 64-bit and i had been cursing WD and Asus for the issue.

If you have any questions feel free to post here again. Switching it to Disabled will solve the problem. Just click whichever ones you use and set them to DISABLE. If you click the down arrow next to that other plans will drop down.
