I took a 1TB WD Green hdd out of another computer and placed it in my current pc. The hard drive worked fine when I plugged it in. I decided to reformat it,deleting the old os and all data, and then I started having issues. I couldn't add anything or take ownership anymore, I decided to use dban drive wiper(quick erase, one pass) my computer ended up crashing after awhile im not sure when but it was probably after it was 75% done. I decided to say screw it and just deleted all the partitions. so now my drive was all unallocated space. I went to computer management and created a new simple volume. It formatted the hard drive (used quick format) and everything seemed fine. Once I started using it though everything was extremely slow. I copied files form my original hdd to the new one and transfer speeds were 400kb to 2 mb. I decided to disable quick format and do a regular format I did this twice and both times the computer crashed when it was about 90% done. (My SATA controller is also set to RAID even though I don't have a Raid setup, i never changed this so i assume its the default and doesnt really matter)
Anyone know what the problem might be? I want to use this as additional storage for now and I might put it in another computer and install windows on it further down the road.
