Help! :((

[Ps_domingo]

I have 3 drives in my system:

A Samsung 840 120gb as my boot Drive (NTFS/GPT)

A Western Digital 3TB Green Drive as storage for my Movies and Series (NTFS/GPT)

and an RMA'd Seagate Barracuda 1TB for my games. (First one clicked then stopped working) (NTFS/MBR)

 

My problem that on occasion the Seagate drive I use for my games goes missing. Sometime it doesnt even shows up when I boot, sometimes In-game. It does it on random intervals. IT'S IRRITATING!

 

I doesn't show it self on the bios as well.  

 

What is happening and is there any fixes?

I think that you need to format your drive, if that wont help, then you need to RMA it.

Something wrong with ports and cables? Try to plug it on another port or replace cables. And check windows power saving settings.

run a S.M.A.R.T test on it,

 

Or, download HDTune Pro, I hear you can get it from a place that has a ship in a bay and people on it are pirates....

and check the "Health" tab and it will give you a read out of everything to do with your drive.

 

 

If anything is highlighted in Yellow, or worse Red then you will have to do an RMA as the drive has become faulty.

 

Or it may be a faulty SATA port on the motherboard, or maybe even a faulty SATA Data cable itself
