i keep getting a "delayed write failure" warning. ive downloaded the "data lifeguard diagnostic tool" program from the western digital website. ive run the program twice. once it told me i have a "-08 handling error" which i couldn't find any info on on their site. the second time i ran the test it said the drive was fine. its taken 6 hrs each time to run the test. ive already backed up 500gb off the hard drive and i am reluctant to load everything back onto it if its going to fail. is a delayed write failure a sign of a failing hard drive? sorry for the long story/ thanks for the answers
