Hi everyone, I have 2 mechanical hard disks from Seagate (each 2TB) in RAID0. The RAID configuration is achieved through the motherboard (MSI MEG Z690 ACE), not from windows. I've decided to update the motherboard BIOS, going from 7D27v18 → 7D27v1A. After completing the update, there's a...

For a while now, usually when i'm playing a game with high HD usage, the game might stutter for a bit (HD usage jumps to 100% and stays there), then my hard drive starts to make this weird "beep" sound, until returning to normal. After some troubleshooting, I'm certain that this is an issue...

Received a new HDD yesterday. Performed a non-quick format on it. When I went to bed it was nearly finished, but when I woke up this morning my PC had crashed (I'm not blaming the drive here my PC is a work in progress). Windows shows the drive online and formatted. I'm aware there's probably...

Hi, My HDD (4TB) just went missing. It was working fine up until a few hours ago. With no warning... gone. I opened and checked disk management, doesn't show up. I restarted the PC, and I don't think it showed up on the boot list (SATA port #3, I suspect). Has it failed? Overheated? Failed Cable?
