Hi all,
Apologies, this is my first post.
My son's pc started receiving "S.M.A.R.T Status Bad, Backup, and Replace". After looking at general feedback on on www, I decided to buy two straight replacement HDD (1 x SSD - Samsung 750 EVO 500 GB 2.5 inch Solid State Drive & 1 x SATA - Seagate Desktop 3.5 inch 2TB 7200 RPM 64MB 6GB/S Internal SATA Drive HDD).
I did this rather than checking the HDD's, as I just wanted to make sure all my son's Uni work was safe.
I installed both drives and booted the PC, but got the same "Bad S.M.A.R.T Status" again.
I tried disconnecting the secondary SATA HDD, and booted to find the S.M.A.R.T error had gone.
Is it likely that I now need to replace the HDD cable. If so, what cable/s do I need to be ordering?
Many thanks all in advance.
A grateful newbie.
