A few months ago I had 2 Seagate EXOS 16 TB drives die on my in the same machine. They both were clicking and beeping when spun up and were not recognized in the BIOS of my machine. I got a replacement drive (same model) and as of this morning it has the same issues. is it possible that I just got bad drives (and should I look somewhere else for a high-capacity drive) or could it be my PSU is shorting them out? I built my rig less than a year ago, so nothing should be dying from age-related wear.
Thanks
Edit: my current rig is:
EVGA Supernova 1000+ PSU
Asus Prime X570-PRO Motherboard
AMD Ryzen 9 3900X CPU
64GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 RAM
Gigabyte Vision RTX 3090
Unfortunately my CPU cooler is covering my M.2 slot so I can't see which brand/model I have, but some 2TB NVME drive for my boot system.
Thanks
