I have a 500gb WD my book studio edition which was an RMA replacement for a My Book Pro that died.

I have barely used it apart from as a dumping space occasionally. However, now it is stuck with a white light on, but no sign of disk activity. So the question is, has it died again? or are the some tricks I can try in OSX to bring it back to life so i can copy the stuff off it?

I've tried it on windows and it won't play ball either via USB and FW.
 
thought thats the case, this will be mybook number 5 to have failed.

think the next replacement will be getting sold straight away, any recommendations for something more robust?
 
the quality of them is laughable. I've had this one about 2 months and used it 4 times I think and its died already

trouble is I'll struggle to sell it without feeling guilty that it will just die in a few months.
