Hi. Thank you both for your replies.

I went ahead and tried seeing what it'd do if I let it initialize the disk, but it just popped up with "Incorrect Function" and that was that.

I tried to run WD's diagnostic tool on the USB, which it's only reading as "(USB)" as opposed to a proper model number etc. I chose the extended test, but it immediately failed and I have this message: "Physical Drive 2: Test stopped with error(s). Cable test failed! Please check the cables."
