Until yesterday my Desktop was working fine. With two HDD Seagate (Sata) and one SSD. Both Seagate are 100% healthy and no noise until now. Today I started my PC and got a little noise from one or both HDD's. But both aren´t shown in BIOS, just my SSD. So I changed the power cables from the SSD to the HDD's (still a little noisy) but the SSD wasn't working. Changed the power cales again and the SSD works again. So, I used 2 adapter cables to Sata but still the same problem with both HDD's. Is it possible that 2 healthy HDD's can break at the same time or may it is a problem with my power supply?
It is likely that the problem is with the power supply, power cords, contacts, etc., but it is very unlikely that two hard drives will fail at the same time, even if they are overvoltage for some reason. So I would suggest first look for a cause in the contacts and the power supply circuit.
Heres some signs of a failing psu -Werid noises from the back of the computer near the psu -computer will randomly turn off sometimes -sometimes it turns on and then immediately turns off if you dont have any of these signs then its probably not the psu Either way see if you can back up your data
@ Crystal balls and co . Instead of blaming the borg , the daleks , africans , moslems , women , comunists , homosexuals , children , black cats , ghosts , NWO ....... what about sugestions for ways of finding out what the problem realy is and how to solve it ?
Mr.X Bought a new one today. Everything works fine again. No HDD errors or data lost. Seems that it really was the PSU. The old one was working fine (using about 8 years), without noises, no turn off randomly. Nothing Just stopped powering the HDD's. Now, it´s fine again. I hope
Don't forget to use voltage regulator or better yet, a UPS. It will make your PSU last longer and protect machine's hardware.
