You have done some nice troubleshooting though.Usually the I/O(Input/Output) error is related to a bad USB cable or a bad USB port of the computer or the drive. Because of that, I would suggest you to try to connect the drive with a different cable and to a different port.

I've struggled with a similar problem before:http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-2277602/unable-detect-external-intialize-error.html1/ Try to 'Safely Remove' the external drive and then reconnect it again, sometimes a simple reset can be the solution.2/ The error might be because of the drivers on your computer. So I'd advice to try the http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2296573/hdd-device-error.html HDD on another PC/laptop. 2/ Another thing I'd do is check if you have the latest firmware update of your external drive. If it is outdated, it can reflect the performance of your drive. 3/ Can you access the drive through Device and/or Disk Management? If yes, what is the information the tools show about the drive?4/ Another thing you can try is to check the HDD through Windows' Command Prompt (run it as administrator), type chkdsk x: /r (where x: is the drive letter of your external drive), this will locate bad sectors and recover readable information.Keep me posted if any of the suggestions worked with you!
