So guys i have 2 HDDs in my pc and DWD/RW
1 HDD (Seagate Baracuda ST500DM02) 500GB SATA 3i-s where OS is installed and some games/programs etc..I have bought this HDD used for decent price in 2017.
2 HDD (Seagate Baracuda ST3160815AS) 160GB SATA 1-im using this HDD for 11 years and did not have any problem with this hdd.I have some old pictures/videos/music stored on this hdd.This was my first hdd bought in 2007 and was used in 4 different builds.From 2013 this hdd is just sitting in my pc and i rarely store data on it.
The problem is when i turn on my pc sometimes i can hear clicking noises coming from the first HDD,where os is installed and it will boot but its very slow and eventually the clicking noise will stop.Sometimes i got black screen or im stick at BOOT logo and sent to bios.I usually fix this doing 3-4 shut downs/restart but that does not help any more.For days i could not use the pc and the clicking noise did not stop.
I have removed the old HDD 160gb and changed sata cables and sata power and than it booted without noise or any problem.If i plug the old hdd i get again clicking noise and no boot.
Strange thing is when i leave the old hdd in and remove the 1st one when os is i get strange noises and sometimes clicking sounds,like its not working properly from this one too.
Now i removed the DVD/RW and plugged the two hdds and its working fine.I have noticed that if i change SATA power cables and sata the problem seems to be gone.(But it will get back if i dont do the same)
I have scanned the both HDDS and they dont have any erors,dont overheat,no bad sectors only HD Tune is showing Number of interface communication errors: 115 (attention) on first HDD (ST500DM02).
I had also one WD 320GB that was quite old and suddenly died in this pc for no reason,it was working totally fine.
Can this be caused by a faulty PSU or HDD ?
Will my data be safe if i move it to new ssd from the old HDD ?
Should i buy new ssd and store my data there or buy a new psu ?
