Disk not working properly after power outage

DJANGO933 · Jan 16, 2015

Hi everyone!

I had a power outage 2 weeks ago and my WD Black 1TB started to slow all the system (i have 3 WD Black 1TB and 2 Hitachi,160gb and 250gb), then i formated the one with the issue, i installed the WD tools to write zeros and repair bad sectors.

The system is working properly but now im getting WriteToDisk errors on uTorrent when im trying to download in the affected disk. I installed CrystalDisk and i got this:

they diying ??? shoulda take them off?
PD: I have no warranty anymore
Ty!

In short yes. They are probably dying. I would recommend taking a backup while you still can and keeping an eye on the SMART info to see if it changes.

Hi, DJANGO933!

I'm very sorry to hear about your issues with the WD Black.

I'd suggest to test the drive with WD's Data LifeGuard diagnostics tool as well and share the results of the extended test as well as the quick test. Here's a link to the utility: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=jmitg7

However, I'd suggest to backup the data somewhere else ASAP just in case, and continue using the WD Black. I wouldn't say these test results are something bad necessarily.
Afterwards, I'd suggest to check the connections inside your PC and maybe reseat the cables of the SATA drives. Hopefully the error would go away.

Keep me posted!
