I have two western digital hard drives. the 1 tb black suddenly disappeared the other day and showed up as RAW 0 bytes available 0 bytes used. So basically I've tried a few things...
What I eventually tried was swapping my HDD's arround so plugging the 1TB where the 2TB was... Now the one that wasn't working is working fine but the other stopped. So it's at this point when I thought great must be a faulty port or sata cable, easy. Well I was wrong. I've tried swapping them back around but the 2TB Green WD that was originally working now won't work at all. Says its RAW and has 0 bytes. I can't use it. I am currently salvaging the data that is stored on there using easeUS data recovery. But what I want to know is, is my hard drive failing or is it the ports on the MB or is it a PSU issue? any advice or help would be appreciated.
