Question: I have an external harddrive and all the sudden the files were loading extremely slowly. I listened for weird noises but there were none. I tried using a different USB type B micro and it would still have the same problem. The files are still loading and showing up, but the process takes 10 to 15 minutes just to load up. I thought it was the connector that was broken so I opened up the casing but it wasn’t a SATA port. I’ll provide an image of the port below.
