Problem with new External HDD

Doge99

Hello

I have a particular problem 

I brought a WD My Passport 2019 edition (2626) 

The drive was overheating near 50C so i contact the WD support then RMA the drive

The RMA drive has arrived after 9 days

Then i use WD Data Life Guard Diagnostic for Windows and ran extended test

it has pass the test

The temperature was 36-38C (ambient 29-32C), the computer was placed at corner of the room where the main fan is not under the computer but a USB fan was placed to cool down the drive 

then next day evening this time. I use HD Tune "Error Scan" and ran the test. the drive was placed at same place but USB fan died and ran the test.

The temperature of the drive was 45C (as expected as i read the review of the drive the temperature was same and ambient was 29-32C)

All sectors were green and speed map was also good without dark green

As everything was mentioned above was ok and both test took 3.8 to 4 hours

I read a another review about this drive benchmark i saw the drive was having average of 240 MB/s (13-March-2020_15-54 .jpg)

Thanks in advance
