Alright, so over the past week I've noticed my 2TB Seagate drive randomly failing I want to say. I would be on my PC, either working on Lightroom or Photoshop and the whole screen would got blank, not BSOD. The reason I believe it is the HDD is because when I hard reset the PC I pulled up my File explore to access some documents and I wasn't able to acess my Documents/Downloads folder which I have routed to my 2TB. Went on to My PC and it only showed my 2 SSDs. I shut down the PC, checked my HDD connections (unplugged and replugged) turned the PC back on and everything was back to normal.

Is this a sign of my HDD failing? I built the PC back in January, all new parts besides my 850 SSD. Is there a software that is reliable in telling me if it is failing? I looked on Seagate site but couldnt

Alright downloaded Seatools and ran the SMART test and the results were clear of any errors. If I'm looking at the right HDTunes, it looks like I need to pay for it to do logging. Hardware info takes me to a foreign site that I cant read.

Did you mean this hardware info? Doesn't look like it has a logging area from the pictures.

Already did that, thank you so much for your helpful advice. Would you rather I make a new thread?

What did Seatools say? If OK, then there is another issue with your system.

And you only made this thread yesterday. Another one would have just been merged into this one.
Patience.
