Hi,
I recently purchased a new 4tb Seagate Barracuda HDD as a drive to store recorded media and games on which I was going to optimise with my new 32gb optane drive, however it doesn't seem to be working, and I don't have much hope as to the health of the drive as on power up, the drive squeaks twice. It's not showing up in Bios or windows explorer, however, it is visible in disk management as "not initialised" but of course can't be initialised due to an I/O error.
Upon trying to fix the issue by following instructions on similar threads, the drive is invisible to tools such as diskpart. Strangely enough it IS visible to HDDScan however, when attempting to test it it only returns a blank slate. Ive tried swapping out the SATA cable and ensured it is receiving power and I've changed the SATA port it's connected to but to no avail.
Im pretty sure that it might just have to be replaced under warranty but being a bit of a novice in the area any help is greatly appreciated.
Im not sure it'll help but I'll list my specs below
MOBO: Asus Z270-A
CPU: i5-7600K @ 3.8ghz
GPU: Gigabyte OC 1060 6gb
Storage: 2tb Toshiba HDD, 120GB WD Green SSD, 240gb Kingston SSD
PSU: BeQuiet! Straight Power 10 600W
Any help is immensely appreciated,
Stuart
