I'm using a SSD and a second hard drive, my SSD is my boot drive for Windows 7. A couple of months back, my second hard drive just died on itself, if I booted the computer with it then everything would crash and it would take 5 minutes to boot. I also couldn't access it, despite seeing it in device manager and my computer. It was still under warranty, sent it in, got a new one, worked fine for the moment.
Today, it happened again, everything is slow when it's booted with it in, BIOS does detect it, however every hard drive SMART check program can't detect it. I've tried using different SATA cables. The hard drive is a Seagate 1TB 7200.12 ST31000528AS. I should also note that it seems to make some weird clicking sounds, I dismissed them, but it does seem a bit out of the ordinary. I'm starting to suspect these hard drives are just defective from birth, considering what I've seen searching around Google.
Specs:
CPU - i5 2500k
RAM - 8GB DDR 1600MHZ
Motherboard - ASUS P8Z68-V (LGA1155)
Graphics Card - GTX 560Ti
SSD - 120GB Corsair Force GT
Any suggestions? Thanks.
