I've recently been experiencing some drive issues. At first I assumed it was my dual bay enclosure going bad and rebooting my drives at random intervals. It was getting worse so I bought a new enclosure and it's still happening. One drive will boot fully allowing me to view the files half the time while other times just the folders which will appear to be empty. The second windows says needs to be formatted to be used and then suddenly both will disappear and reappear as if they were just initialized. I had 2 dual bay enclosures sitting side by side and both plugged into the same strip so I'm not understanding why this is happening to just the one set of drives and what exactly is even going on.
should i just write off all my data and format the drives, a settings change or program that can fix it or are they both toast?
oh and both are western digital. one 1 TB and the other 500 GB and both only about a year old.
