Hello
Lately I have been having issues with my hard drives.
I have 3 hard drives :
Samsung SSD 850 EVO 120GB - My OS/Boot drive
Western Digital Blue 1TB -Main Drive
Hitachi 1TB - Steam drive (Steam and steam games only)
The issue is that at times the steam drive will act up as if it is gone and I would not be able to access steam or make a folder on the drive. I would get the this drive is not located message when attempted to make a folder on that drive. I rested the pc and I would get the "insert boot media and press a key" prompt. Before I would have to turn off the pc and turn it back on again get it to work. Recently when it happen again I pressed Control alt delete and I got into the bios only to show that the main drive ( western digital ) was missing in the hard drive options. http://imgur.com/a/hRiov
So I turn off the computer and ran WD Data Lifeguard Diagnostic for Windows. The WD Blue fail with to many bad sectors when tested

and the Hitachi had no issues. And at one time the WD did not show on the Data lifeguard.

After that the steam drive unaccessible. I even replace all the sata cables with new ones to see if it will fix the issue.
After a turn off everything is back to normal for now. All I want to know if both drives are bad. I have a WD red 2tb on standby and I can replace the WD blue if needed.
My PC Specs :
OS - WIndows 10 Pro
CPU - FX 8320 4.0 ghz
Ram -16 GB
Motherboard - ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. M5A97 LE R2.0
GPU - MSI Gaming GTX 970
Also I have a CD drive.
Please and thank you very much.
