ive got a nextsar external drive sith a samsung laptop drive in it, and ever since my laptop gave me troubles of turning on and off repeatedly my drive has been randomly loosing data with a need to run chkdsk just to be able to use it again. I run the drive with just the usb power and use the "safely Remove hardware" icon. could my drive be going bad or is it possible that the directory structure is bad and the drive needs to be reformated.

oh and the drive is only about 6 weeks old. thanks
