Have had my system completed for a little over a month now, but keep having issues with my two hard drives.
A whole plethora of issues, might I add....my computer kept blue screening at one point until I completely disconnected my drives...my OS is on my m.2 lol and I had nothing on those drives at the time
Ever since I got the computer to post, I've been having issues with formatting the drives and getting them to read. Eventually was able to sort that out and had both formatted, named, and well...working.
But any time I launch the system now, good chance one or both of them aren't showing up. Maybe a couple restarts will get the other to pop, but not often.
I've gone through endless suggestions in other threads ranging from using different cables, uninstalling the problematic device in device manager (have done that for both several times up until this point, using different slots on the motherboard, and just reformatting everything again.
Haven't had much on those drives anyway so it's not too big of a problem just yet. I can't touch the problematic drive(s) in disk manager because of either an I/O issue or the "Device does not exist", two problems I bypassed when I first finished my build. However with that being said, when the drive is recognized later on either after rebooting or just using the computer, the files I have on said drive are still there and uncorrupted.
But I'm running out of space on my SSD and don't know what else to do with these drives. I don't have another computer readily available to further troubleshoot them which is an additional downside to having almost $400 worth of drives that work sometimes lol
Long story short, the drives are working and holding things just fine....just not recognized depending on the cycle of the moon I guess
I appreciate any and all help in advance
At the moment I have a Ryzen 9 3900x on an Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Hero motherboard (started the build with a 3950x, died on me so I sent it to AMD and bought the 3900x just to run the system, AMD sent a new 3950x but I have yet to reinstall it. After popping in the 3900x is when I had the blue screens)
And of course two Western Digital Black Performance 4TB 3.5 inch hard drives
Quick note: To my knowledge the drives have not been exposed to moisture or have been dropped, at least not while in my possession
