These errors and behaviors might indicate to you that your drive is malfunctioning and you need a new one however, before you give up on a $100+ drive, ensure the problem is not simply a very low-level formatting snag that causes the drive to hang when accessed. Another possible symptom is if you get this error or one claiming the drive cannot be unmounted, when trying to format the drive or running a fix routine on it with Disk Utility. If this happens, the drive may show up in the Finder sidebar but not show data when clicked, or it may just not show up but be present in Disk Utility however, if you try to mount it you get a “resource busy” error. Even though formatting advances like Journaling in Apple’s filesystem formats help prevent data corruption, problems can still happen that result in a drive not only being unreadable, but also unable to be reformatted.
