Hello dear friends !
First, you have to know I'm French, so my english won't be perfect at all lol.:lol:
I try to explain you what happens to me :
I have two Western Digital 1.0TB HDDs. Model : WS10EADS-22M2B0. Ok, I recognize they are not really young, but all seemed to work properly, when suddenly they both failed (in the same month ! ). Sometimes my computer doesn't even recognizes them, other times they are found but are damn slow... Only 30~300 kb/s, while it was 30 or 50 Mb/s when they worked well
I've tried to do as many things as it was possible to do. Actually, in French language, we don't have many websites that help well for this kind of troubles, but I managed to find some ideas.
* I've tried CHKDISk w. fix options -> no results (sometimes it takes 3 months to find a cluster, sometimes it crashes, I don't even know if it really works) ;
* I've tried the WD repair tool -> it crashed almost everytime cause i didn't even managed to start the standard test (or to read the SMART) ;
* The SMART is sometimes absent, sometimes it works well and says "everything is good" (are you kidding me ?? ) ;
* I've tried TESTDISK, which is way more powerful than CHKDSK, but it spends two days for analysis, I tried to fix/rebuild the MBR, the FAT, boot sectors and many other things I coudn't even remember -> still nothing...
I must say that my HDDs were always used carefully (no drops, no shocks, no overheating, nothing...) They are external HDDs, but one of them was internal (Operating system) when he began to fail.
Looks like many people have (had) troubles with WD disks. I'm really frustrated, next time I'll buy Seagate or other brands, cause WD has become a real crap !
I'm seriously thinking about buying a new PCB (with the BIOS flash) to try to recover my data, cause I'm quite sure it can't be a mechanical problem. I have the P/N of this part : 2060-701640-002 REV A and I know where to buy it, but I hope it will be the right solution, cause I'm about to explode...
Do you have some ideas ? Thx for your answers (good and slow english please lol :lol: )
