Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 1TB
New HDD just came in today and I tried installing it. Windows booting up took a long long time to load. 5 minutes+ maybe even 10minutes? I have an 120 GB SSD as my primary drive so normally it's several seconds (Computer is also 3 days old, and my first build)
New secondary HDD wasn't recognized automatically. Disk Management took few minutes to load. Initialize disk popped up (MBR selected) and pressed OK. Then I/O device error popped up a few moments later.
Installed SeaTools from seagate and opened it up. Took about 10 minutes or so to "ATA: Scan for supported drives," and after that no 1tb HDD showed up. Only my 120 GB SSD.
Oh restarted my computer to enter BIOS and noticed HDD making skipping/scratching noise on start up. Does not show up in UEFI m5a97 mobo bios.
Removed HDD and boot time returned to normal!
Could it have been my fault, it felt a little rough trying to slide it into my 3.5" bay. Had to wiggle it and be a bit rough with lots of friction on the sides. Using a NZXT source 210 case. I don't know, are hard drives this fragile? Or is it just bad HDD to begin with.
Time for RMA I guess? Or is there anything else that is worth trying.
