Hello, I'm hoping someone can help me diagnose this problem. I have an HTPC (Asrock, intel i3, win 7) with several drives adding up to 15 TB. One of my drives, an internal 2 TB Hitachi is acting strange. Here's the behavior.
First here is what it does with no problems:
-Playing files on the drive presents no issues. I've never had any problems with the files that are stored on the drive.
-Writing files to drive is fine as well. I can transfer from any drive and write to the drive and everything is smooth. (Moving and writing mostly large files 4-8gb)
-I can move any file on this drive to google drive no problem.
The problems start when moving files from the Hitachi:
-Moving files from the Hitachi to another drive (internal or external) has been a headache
-Moving files allows some files to transfer smoothly and others to bog down the transfer. It will go from 50mb/s to 1.0 mb/s.
-On several occasions my computer just locks up and I'm forced to reboot.
-On other occasions the hard drive will disappear altogether.
- I was able to successfully move 85 of 100 large files. The other 15 all slow the transfer to a crawl, lock up my system, or make the HD disappear if I transfer them individually.
- Taking one of these files and copying and pasting (replicating it) it within the same drive also crashes the system. But I can move files (folder to folder) within the drive just fine.
Here's what I've tried:
-I changed SATA ports, SATA cable, and Power.
-I moved drive to an external enclosure and the problem is the same. It doesn't shut my system down or make HD disappear though. Just slows transfer to a crawl.
-I ran a chkdsk and it reported 0 errors.
I'm at a loss here. I have about 1.4 TB of data on the drive that I need to transfer, but with these errors and slow downs I'm afraid the data is stuck on that drive.
Any ideas what this could be?
