[bladem2127]

Brand new Computer all different brands of HDD's 1 brand new, 1 old, 1 refurbished. Everything ran fine until today, 2 HDD's ran on a different pc, 1 for a year(Refurbished), the other a few months(Very limited use, dead end storage basically).

I had a previous SSD crash on my old pc and it bricked it, lost 6TB, of applications recordings, games, still cant get those back. Now my brand ish new HDD's are doing the same my brand new 6TB just died i only noticed because i saw my steam games where missing, then i looked around all my other drives where working fine, so i hoped it was a bug and restarted my PC waited 60s turned off my HDD dock with my 3 HDD's waited 60s then booted my pc, now every drive except my NVME are gone, what happened?!

My Previous PC was full on SATA, so i bought a HDD Dock to add extra drives to my pc, didnt want to install the new drives into my new pc so i took the Dock with me

So the dock is outside, external to the PC, and the drives inside the PC are OK and the drives in the dock are all dead? Was the previous SSD that died also in the dock?

No the previous SSD was my C drive in my old PC, That dock lasted me years with no issues

Don't panic just yet. Unplug all but one external hard drive from the caddy.
Unplug the USB cable to the PC and restart the computer (without) the external USB cable plugged in.

I want the PC to boot a full boot and shut down with out the external caddy plugged in.

Now restart the PC, after restart plug in the external caddy with the one drive and report back if it now shows normal.

All Drives still show corrupted and unreadable, following your instructions with each HDD solo

Again don't fully panic I have to have three different caddies and numerous hookups to get some drives to come to life. I just don't see all three killing themselves all at once.

I could be the caddy.

Same it makes no sense, my 6TB was running hard before i took it out and followed your instructions. It was warm almost hot to the touch, Ill see if i cant round up a sata cable and try and hook it directly

Also when your in windows bring up Disk Management , does the drive show up in there and does the drive have a drive letter?

I wish both the "C" and the "F" drive were not so full there is no room and this may well be why it's throwing a fit.

How about another computer to check the three external drive out on?

If I go silent coming up I have to do something for about an hour.

I still feel the drives are fine and it's the host Windows as you have now plugged into PC direct so that took the caddy out of the mix.

Ill give it a shot, can i use the caddy to test on another pc, or should i attempt to get inside my old PC and plug it in direct?

EDIT: Also all my PC's are almost full up, my old pc especially

Were just looking for working proof of life if the other PC will read the drives and let you have access to them.

Also I don't like G and E are raw

I ran a Full Virus scan just to see if it would read into the drives and it does, im 60% of the way through atm, still just curious to see what happens, but the files are there and readable through avast at least. Once its done ill check the drives on my other PC and get back to ya. In an hour 30 i got to head out aswell, But il do as much as i can before i leave.
