it is certainly worth a try
I lost the USB connection of my WD My Book for Mac while traveling. So I borrowed my brother's Seagate connection, which matches perfectly, but it just wouldn't mount!!! I don't understand why...The SmartWare on my computer is up to date. Should I buy the WD USB connection?? Or maybe something is wrong with the hard drive??? PLEASE HELP ME...all my work files are on it....
