Greetings!
I bought this 1 TB Seagate hard drive like 2 years ago. 3 days ago, my computer simply refused to detect it in windows. It was first detectable in BIOS, but now it doesn't even show up in there.
Windows files are in an SDD. I had a bunch of games, movies, pics, etc. on that hard drive.
At first, I would get random freezes that lasted about a minute. This freezing thing lasted for about 2 months, before my HDD got completely wrecked.
My system would slow down SO much when the HDD was connected. I have an SSD and it'd take about 10-15 secs to boot up w/o the HDD.
First time the problem occurred, I tried looking it up in Disk Management in Hardware Management. It wouldn't show up at first, but when I clicked on Rescan Disks, each partition would start showing up and explorer.exe would crash, then my computer would crash when partitions showed up. No files were readable though. None of them.
I also updated the firmware of the HDD after this incident occurred. That didn't help either.
I tried changing the SATA power and data cables. No changes.
Here's my computer specs, if that helps:
AMD FX-8320E x8 core@3.20 GHz
8 GB of RAM
120 Kingston SSD (Windows is on here)
Geforce GTX 760
Please help me!
And since this is like the 4th time getting a HDD destroyed in 8 years, should I just go and buy an SSD instead? Like a 500 gb one?
Thank you!
