HDD over voltage

I had the voltage regulator that went bad in my PSU and I was wondering if it could of fried my Seagate 2 tb and WD 1 tb drive. I tried using my old Corsair 850 and the motherboard will not recognize those drives but it recognizes a couple of laptop drives I had laying around. 

 

If it is bad, would Thermaltake pay for the new replacement drives or would I have to pay for new drives out of pocket?

your drives are dead

my old PSU also killed my two HDDs

but it also fried my motherboard and CPU, so idk how your PSU only killed your HDDs

 

youre gonna have to contact TT and ask them if they will replace your PSU and drives, but tbh you should not be using a crappy thermaltake PSU in the first place

I would certainly ask thermalfake, WD, and Seagate if a replacement could be provided. If they are still under warranty I see no reason not to RMA them

My Motherboard and 970 has onboard voltage regulators. I'm surprised that my Samsung SSD still works.

 

 

I used a   Thermaltake Toughpower TPD-0750M 

 

Luckly, I had this on order though   EVGA 220-PS-1000-V1

my SSD survived the PSU failure, none of the HDDs did

seems like SSDs are far more durable
