Hello everyone, Today my HDD (S: ) started to act strange. I realized that a Video i saved yesterday with Nvidea Shadow Play wasn´t there. Navigating through the folders of the HDD was a bit slow but nothing i worried about at that moment. I first expected a software problem with Shadow Play so...

I purchased a Seagate 8tb Ironwolf to be used as a desktop hdd Put it on a USB docking station, made one full partition, formatted it with NTFS and copied 5,5 TB of data. Everything going as it should. Installed it internally now, as was the plan (removed one hdd and put this in its place)...

I wan to check if it's possible to fix my drive by replacing the PCB. It's a Seagate ST1000LM035 and it's actually an external harddrive (Seagate Expansion). When I plug it in to my Linux Laptop, using USB, it says like this in dmesg [16433.285102] usb 2-2: new high-speed USB device number 14...

Hei, does anyone can check these sound files and see if the hard drive is supposed to act like this or is it failing? I am confused when the drive starts it makes som scratching noise and when it i close it, it then also makes a scratch noise. After the starting scratching noise the drive is...

Just finished this build 2 days ago, I have nothing on the hard drive except for 3 steam games (nothing to backup on the bright side). No problems for the ~3hrs I had it on for, shut down PC normally, but after coming back and booting up I was met with a "WARNING: Hard drive failure imminent..."...

Since i got a ransomware attack last month, I need a new reliable HDD preferably 4TB. I am between the WD RED 4TB (WD40EFAX) and the Seagate Barracuda 4TB (ST4000DM004). Its pretty confusing on which one to choose because based on backblaze, for the money, these are the best, but a lot of people...

So I built my first gaming pc back in December 2019. That day I struggled with finding my 2tb hard drive and 500gb ssd in the bios and after awhile I was able to find 1 drive which was my hard drive but it only showed that I had 930 gbs of storage available. After struggling for so long I just...

Hello. My seagate firecuda 520 (500gb) has advertised speeds of 5000mb seq read and 2500mb seq write, I was achieving this until recently and now I get 2500mb read and 500mb write. Updated to windows 2004 and then got 2500mb on both but back down to 500mb write again. I have 300gb free on...

I have a modular power supply (Corsair CX550M). I bought a seagate barracuda 2tb. It didn't come with any cables and I realised I needed to buy them so I bought a sata cable and also this cable which I though would power my hard drive. Turns out it's male and I need female. I cannot for the life...

I bought a new desktop a few weeks ago. When it arrived I noticed the Hard Drive was causing a lot of problems and it was slow. I've made a couple of posts on here about the drive itself and I hope this is my final one. I've collected a few diagnostics, tested a few things and now I'm making...

Hi, I've been wanting to add some additional storage for some time now since I've been practicing video editing and wanted to create more videos in the future. I also play a lot of games especially open world ones. Would a WD Purple or a Seagate Skyhawk be good for storage? I know they are...

Sorry for what might possibly be the dumbest question ever asked about HDDs. So last week, after buying a new desktop I noticed the HDD was acting funny. Downloads would stop, stay stopped for minutes, then continue, then stop again, and so on when trying to download to the HDD. After posting...

So a few days back my desktop arrived. I bought all the components but chose to have it built by the retailer's engineers. After installing the drivers, my hdd wasn't showing up. I went to disk management and "installed" it through there. But after 5 min I noticed that everything I was trying...

I have a Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex external hard drive when I plug it in it starts up but my computer doesn't read it. I am running Mac OSX 10.7.5. It read it before and now it's not, what do I do?

So suddenly I got this problem and I've been using this hard drive for about 1 year. Previously, about 3 weeks ago I did a surface test on a sentinel hard disk and there was no weak sector at all, but today I know this problem because when i do reading data, I hear strange sounds like beeping...

My second drive, a Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM006 2 TB HDD is 2 years and 10 months old. Recently I started noticing that every now and then the HDD seems to freeze, or take a little while to access files. This happens when I am browsing file explorer, or when I want to scroll through a PDF...

A Seagate Barracuda sata drive has failed on my Windows 10 system and I'm trying figure out if it's recoverable. This situation looks similar to this post. The disk is recognized by the OS and I can see it mounted in Windows explorer. However, the whole disk shows up as a 'RAW' partition in...

Hey Everyone, I bought an 8TB Seagate hard drive from Amazon (BarraCuda Hard Drive 8TB ST8000DM004) and I have plugged it in correctly and it shows up in my disk management as 8tb RAW Healthy (Primary Partition) after a few days of trying and failing. I have read that windows doesn't understand...

I have Seagate Backup Plus 2 TB External Harddisk. So i have this issue: until 2 days back i could copy FROM the external hdd anything without any issues. In the last few months i haven't copied anything to the drive. Now i copied some stuff around 20gb to the drive but in between i got an I/O...

Hello everyone. I hope you all are doing well in these uncertain times. Anyway, I've been having a very bizarre problem regarding my PC lagging and try as I might I can't seem to figure out what's wrong nor how to fix it. So I come to you all for help. Here's the situation: at completely random...

Hi, I want to know if Seagate or Adata drives are good. I've seen a lot of bad reviews about Seagate having bad build quality, which seems very possible considering the cheap price, and a lot of mixed reviews about Adata SSDs. So, are they any good? I used a Seagate hard drive as my C: from 2015...

I bought a 3TB HDD (ST3000DM007) 5400rpm about a year ago and I think ever since I got the HDD it wouldn't work as I wished, so I just put the problem behind me for a while. I decided that I probably installed it wrong so I just redid it. I don't seen any improvement at all. Nothing is wrong...

Hello there! I am having an issue with my external HD. This happened after my Windows 10 laptop got stucked so I have to force restart by holding the power button of my laptop. After the restart, my HD suddenly isn't recognized by my laptop and its lights isn't turning on but the HD itself is...

Here's a puzzler and also my first post here. I'm guessing I know the next step, but I thought I'd also try to get some input from you. 1. My PC had been turning itself off when I played games while having another video/music running in the background. Went on for some month. Temperature was...

https://www.amazon.com/Seagate-External-Desktop-Photography-STEL8000100/dp/B01HD6ZLQ6 I bought these drives something like 3 odd years ago or so and although I fully understand these drives are only for backup proposes only, which is what I do. I sometimes, quite often, on a weekly basis upload...

My Seagate 2tb hard drive suddenly stopped working, the motor is working but the led is not blinking. It's not even showing any trace on disk management or in boot screen. Any help will be appreciated I don't want to lose the data. There was only 50gb left on the drive if it's related to that...

I have a Seagate External Portable Plus 1TB that I got in 2019 and it was working fine until a few days ago. I didn't drop in the past few days so I doubt its damaged. Basically, whenever I try to to open a file, it doesn't load. My laptop starts to reset/lag as well. I have 800gb in the hard...

I have my work files backed up on my Seagate hard drive. I work at home using my external hard drive. My question is, can I update my files that I worked on from my hard drive to my computer with all the new changes on it? I found instructions on how to mirror, but that tends to put the files...

Hey all! First post on here, so sorry if poor etiquette. I've had this hard drive for a while now, and it contains quite a few important pieces of data on it, including backups. When I plug it into my PC (Windows 10 x64 Home), it begins beeping approx. every 1 second. This also happens when...

The hard-drive is an 8TB SeaGate. Some background: I had a thing called Intel Optane which, when it worked, it worked great. It's basically a little PCI memory stick that attaches itself to the HDD in a RAID setup to increase its speed to those comparable to an SSD. But anyway, in January the...

So from what I've read online, NAS drives should be able to be used in desktop computers. I just bought 2x Seagate Ironwolf 8TB drives and they aren't showing up in BIOS. I've updated my BIOS to the latest version. My motherboard is Gigabyte Z390 Gaming X. I've tested different cables, tried...

Hello, I have just done a clean install of windows because I messed up my registry in an attempt to fix my external hard drive problem. Now, I have plugged my Seagate hard-drive back into my Acer Apire E15 laptop and it still isn't showing anything. The blue indicator light isn't switched on...

i have an 8TB seagate hard drive which, after being tasked to transfer several GBs of files, grinds to a halt and the writing speed drops to 2-3 MBs. i have run a test to check for bad sectors and nothing came up as damaged. the hard drive has no problem reading for long periods of time, but it...

Hi Everyone, I was wondering which drive that you guys would choose for a Windows backup drive? Currently I have a WD My Book (2013 model) which worked perfectly fine as an incremental Windows backup and manually selected backup drive. However considering the age of the drive and random backup...

Hello! I have a problem with my seagate barracuda drive.The sound it makes is strange and i am not sure if the hdd is dying. It started like a year ago, when i had a cryptovirus then i formated it amd it started working properly again. One month ago the drive started doing this again. Every time...
