Hey guys, would appreciate some help with my problem..
I've had a WD Red 3TB drive now for around 6 months (used as a secondary hd for storage). In the past month or so the drive will randomly disconnect (makes that power loss noise). It has happened while the PC is idle and while attempting to open files.
After this I shutdown my PC then turn it back on again, it will then automatically start CHKDSK which hasn't showed any problems so far.
This has happened 4/5 times in the past month.
I've looked at HDTune Pro and it says everything is ok.
What do you think is causing this issue and should I request a replacement?
Thanks.
