Hi,
I have very strange problem. Every WD internal drive is getting bad sectors just after 5 - 10 days!!! In the last 6 months, I have received 5 - 6 replacements and every drive failed after some days. I have mentioned some points that could you help you in the case...
- Drive temperature reaches to 40+ degree Centigrade after just 4 - 5 hours of usage!!! I have placed the drive outside of the cabinet. And outer temperature (in hyderabad. this time weather is cool here) is not more than 31 degree centigrade.
- After reaching to peak temperature like 42+ degree centigrade, computer almost hangs and restarts.
- Drive doesn't get detected sometimes in BIOS!!!
- When I started PC with UBUNTU, its disk utility is reporting some bad sectors on this drive.
I am not able to understand where can be the problem. Is it SMPS, cable or motherboard? If you need any other information please let me know.
Thanks,
sHAILU
