Hi. I have an external HDD (4TB as Mac OS Extended (journaled) with some files/folders on it. When I connect it to my MacBook, the drive is recognised and I can see the folders and files. However, when I try to copy a file or folder, it just tried to copy - and then nothing happens. I have tried the Disk Utility to do repair and first-aid but it eventually (after a few minutes) says "failed". Is this drive busy dying/faulty....? How can I get the folders and files off this drive? Any suggestions, recommendations, apps very welcome.
