The story goes like this:
I wanted to 'replace' my old 500gb seagate hdd, so I went for a 1TB SSHD also from seagate. My MB is an old eg31mf-s2, that's why i didn't want to waste my money on an SSD, because I won't be able to take advantage of that speed so I'll be fine with an SSHD. I've installed windows 7 on my SSHD and kept the other HDD just like it was (with the OS on it and so on).
Here comes the problem, when I connect my HDD and and try to boot from my SSHD, the SSHD makes weird clicking noises like it's broken and sometimes won't boot... the BIOS recognizes both of them, but, after it successfully boots to windows, for the first let's say 5-10 minutes, the HDD is available in "my computer", after that, suddenly disappears and my sshd will do that clicking sound . If I remove the old hdd and boot normally from my sshd, it works PERFECTLY, READ/WRITe speeds are perfect and there is no clicking sound, no errors, no nothing
The same thing happens if I use both my HDD and SSHD and boot from my old HDD, nothing happens, both of them work perfectly, read/write speeds are also good and no weird sounds coming out of the SSHD.
I will also leave here some information of what I have already done and what pc components I have:
-I have tried to change cables, sata slots and so on/
-My psu is strong enough, 620 watts from inter tech, runs cold with overclocked intel 4-core xeon and gtx570.
-when it disappears, my second hdd cannot be found in device manager, there's only my 1TB SSHD
-updated my bios to the latest version available
So, what the hack actually happens? why does my SSHD MAKE CLICKING SOUNDS WHEN I TRY TO USE BOTH HDD's? even more the old hdd is not recognised by windows? Will I brake my SSHD ?
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you!
Alex
