Hi! I have a problem with hdds. The third HDD breaks down in my pc and I cant explain how lost I am. After the first one I didnt think much of it just replaced it to one from an old family computer and it was working perfectly for a month or so. Then the second one broke down and I didnt really understand it. When I say broken down I mean the first had an I/O error or smth like that so it was not readable or writeable, with the second one my pc just couldnt boot, it wanted to scan the drive and never finished. (Estimated 120+ days) I got a third one this week and it was a hard install, after the first boot my pc did not stop beeping for some reason?? And then I switched to another power cable ending (my power cable has three paths on the end, and only the second one is useable.) and it stopped beeping, I could install gta and fortnite so I thought it would work. After a few days it started beeping when I put load on it and disconnected. Then it reconnected after half a minute, canceling the load. That means I couldnt download, start games that were installed on the hdd. Now I unplugged then replugged the hdd and it seems to work, but I dont think that solved the problem. Can any1 help?? ty :>>

 

Specs are in the attached photo and I have 16 gigs of some shit ram, and a 600W power supply.

I don't know if your problem is a cable issue, but it certainly does not sound good!

Is the HDD properly mounted in the case? Pretty common for HDDs to get damaged if they're vibrating/rattling from improper mounting.
