So I just plugged in my WD My Passport 4Tb drive and it shows up and the files are displayed but when I try and copy anything to or from the drive it fails and sits spinning. There is no weird noises coming from the drive and it spins up ok but its seems to be screwed. I have it connected to my MacBook and have tried both USB slots which produce the same results.

I have tried the official WD app and tested the drive which passes SMART checks but fails on the full data integrity checks. I am fearing the worst :(

Anyone know anything I can try to get the data off the drive and save all my photos etc, nightmare :(
