Hard disk corruption is now quite often seen, and it may affect the normal functionality of the disk itself and cause data loss. WD is one of the most famous and mainstream external hard disk producers, but it may also get damaged due to wear and tear. You can use EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard Pro to retrieve data from my corrupted WD 1TB external hard disk.

Step 1. Download and install the EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard and launch it by clicking its icon.

Step 2. You can choose the "quick scan" of your hard disk for all your lost files, or you can perform the advanced scan for full data recovery. Use the filter feature to find lost files according to type, time, and size.

Step 3. Before you recover the selected photos, you can preview the recovered files. After previewing, click "Recover" to start the process and save them to a secure location.

To better protect your data in the WD external hard disk, you can do the following:

  • Utilize full disk encryption: Encrypting your data storage device can reduce the possibility of data loss.
  • Prevent your hard disk from wearing down: Plug and unplug the data cable from your hard disk only when it is necessary.
  • Keep your computer dry: Moisture in your PC may make your hard drive or computer crash due to overheating.
