New Harddrive not working!

[AlaNo]

My new hardrive dosent work everytime I do something in it like transfer files it does it really slow then freezes and never finish's it, I then restart the pc and then the harddrive is no longer detected by windows! Ive already tried changing out the sata cables but that still didnt work it only brought it back temporarily though the same thing happened again.

I would try a different SATA connector (on the MOBO) and different cable. I would also connect it to a different computer if possible. What drive is it and how old is it (used or new)?

Its brand new and its this one; https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013JPKUU2/?tag=pcpapi-20

 

I also noticed that my pc was super slow when it was working since it was taking for ever just to install Fl Studio compared to my older 250gb hard drive.

How did you install Windows? Was it duplicated or is it a fresh install?

I installed it on my SSD, and its still there any everything is fine though any file transfers that I would do on that new drive would do it super slow.

Can you screenshot Task Manager or a drive benchmark so we can see the numbers?

Ok, so some other stuff to try after that finishes. Different power connector, connect to a different computer, connect over USB, then if you don't find anything else on the Internet and no one else has a clue, just refund.
