Hello
So I have a WD blue 1 tb and the SMART data indicates the HDD is deteriorating ->having more and more bad sectors/ read and write errors so its probably dying.
I know I should replace it but I'm currently on a bit tight budget and can't really spare the money right now. Because of this I'm looking for a temporary solution till I can buy a new drive to replace it with
I'm considering just unplugging the drive so it can't deteriorate further since it just my movies, music and my back up of the c: drive on it.
Would this mess with my windows install? or should I do something in the set up first to prevent this? ( just telling me what to google would help a lot already)
And yes I do realize I won't have running back ups of my c: drive but this is a temporary risk I shouldn't but willing to take ?.
Any other tips or suggestions are greatly appreciated as well !
Thanks in advance :)
