Why do my hard drives keep crashing?
Last response: in Storage
I built a computer system some time ago. It worked great for a few months, then my hard drive failed. I couldn't even recover data off of it with a USB adapter. So I sent it back. The new drive checked out fine in BIOS. After booting Windows installation, the HDD was no longer detected. I rebooted and the HDD had vanished from BIOS too. So I replaced the motherboard and the hard drive. The same scenario repeated with the new components. I tried a different brand HDD, but the result was the same. Cables and SATA ports are tested and good. HELP ME!!!

My suspect:
PSU (bad/unstable power supply can burn harddisk chip easilly)
SATA Cable (bad cable may cause raw data error)
Environment ( read http://www.dfrsolutions.com/uploads/publications/2007_0... )
The model of the hard disk itself. (160Gb seems quite old)
