Hi,
It seems one of my Seagate Barracuda drives is failing. It makes Windows freeze when I boot into it. It houses all my data, I recently switched it out of an old build. Please note, the OS itself is on an SSD.
This is why I assume it's failing. I ran CrystalDiskInfo, it says the HDD is in "GOOD" condition. So I'm a bit confused.
Anyways, I bought a HGST DeskStar NAS Drive, can I use it for my HDD in my build. I chose this NAS drive for it's reliability.
I read about firmware changes in NAS Drives in terms of Error Correction. Is this OK? Or is it only active in Raid mode? I will not be running RAID. I just need a reliable drive to house my music and games.
Should I cancel the order?
