[SOLVED] Every hard drive seems to fail

[Jimbob1]

Every hard drive I get from seagate just makes a beeping noise. But If I go in disk management it shows up as a new partition. If I use hard disk sentinel it also shows up as 100% healthy but the issue is that when I setup a new partition, the drive will just disappear within a few hours and make a beeping noise.

Can you tell me the model of the hard drive doing this. Also are these external drives or internal? Maxtor and Seagate hopped into bed with each other and that equals disaster I personally would never buy seagate. The only hard drive company I trust is LaCie with their premium aluminum builds.

Lacie doesn't actually manufacture the hdd or ssd in their enclosures. They use several manufacturers including Seagate for the drives.

Lacie has been owned by Seagate since 2014.

Yes I know my guru mod. LaCie makes amazing aluminum porsche design enclosures. Never gone bad on me and looks hella sexy. For externals I buy LaCie and for internals I buy nothing as a internal hard drive is of no use for me. Thanks for the post tho so the other people know this. But I do know Seagate and Maxtor hopped in together and that can be a good thing. I understand and also Seagate is a good company I don't know why this OP is having these issues. Western Digital is good as well but their external drives are made out of plastic and they don't have a on off button.

But I know it is not Seagate in there as long time ago I took one of them apart and the drive wasnt Seagate I forgot what it was.

Thank you USAFRet I did not know this. I knew LaCie doesn't make the actual hard drive but I didn't know whats inside of it after all these years of owning them. Thanks.. thats kind of you.👍👶

It's an internal seagate hard drive. I've ordered new sata cables to see if it is the cable as it shows up as 100% health with no bad sectors.

That is great to hear. Just keep a eye out with CDI because usually most of the time when hard drives go bad it doesnt happen instantly unless you bump into your computer and it falls down. Usually it starts with clicking noise and slowly bad sectors then eventually your in a hole and its dead and you lose your info. I would regardless always use external backup drives. Seagate is good company but some of their models Maxtor has a inprint on and that is sorta not good.
