Hi,
I am using Dell workstation T-7500 with Win-7. I use 500GB SSD as my boot drive & others 3TBs 3 of them as storage. I have been using this PC for over 10 years. Today I was working & downloaded some stock market data which I do every Saturday. After that I connected 3, 3TB HDD SATA III drives to back up this data & rebooted the PC. But then it boots ok but I can not open any files, folders, websites etc. So I tried rebooting several times & came across same problem.
So put a cloned HDD & put SSD as a slave drive & found the same problem with the HDD too.
So I changed the SATA Cable & that too did not help.
Then I put the SSD in 2nd SATA slot & it didn't work. All these times I disconnected 3 TB HDD for elimination process. Nothing worked. Finally I put just the cloned HDD in 2nd slot which I use to cone SSD to HDD & it didn't work so by this time I was frusted & had something to eat. Then all of a sudden that HDD in 2nd slot all of a sudden worked.
So I replaced it by SSD which had the downloaded data & connected one 3 TB HDD to back up data as fast as I can which I did. Now I am scared to shut down the PC & connect rest of the HDDs ( 3 x 3TB HDDs & a 500 GB HDD to clone this SSD so that I will have backed up data & a new Cloned HDD in case something goes wrong.
But before I do that I thought I better take advice from experts on this forum in case I run into same problem.
My room has A/C running so that eliminates probably overheating.
Please advice.
Thank You
