Windows 10: FireCuda 2TB Hard Drive Not Found

Hello, as the subject states, my laptop suddenly stopped recognizing my hard drive about 2 weeks ago. I’ve looked around and tried many of the solutions that I found, but none had any effect.
I’ve tried

- Restarting my laptop

- Checking disk partitions

- Checking device manager

- Unplugging and replugging in the drive

- Checking BIOS


I also tried to “stress out” the drive as I saw in another thread but that didn’t seem to do anything. I was able to eventually locate it under hidden devices in the device manager and it gave a bad connection error, but I’m not sure if that was the actual issue or not as I don’t have anything to test the cable or drive with.

Has anyone else had this problem? I’m really stuck on what to do.

Thanks.

Seagate BarraCuda vs. FireCuda SSHD for storage

Hi,

I want a 2.5" hard drive with more capacity and I found the Seagate hard drives.

But, which one is better for storage?, the price difference is little.

• Seagate 2TB BarraCuda 2.5" $86.99
• Seagate 2TB FireCuda Gaming SSHD 2.5" $99.99

I know that the FireCuda has 8GB built in but, does it matter for storage purposes?.

 

Cloning from 1TB to 2TB hard drive

Whats a good free imaging/cloning program? I have a 1TB hard drive with Win7 and I want to seamlessly migrate my stuff to a 2TB hard drive. Any suggestions?

 

Seagate BarraCuda vs. FireCuda SSHD for storage

Are there any other 7200 RPM drives available?

I also asked you a question before.

Does the Firecuda have software on the seagate site you can get to adjust the drives power/ performance profiles in its firmware?

If not I wouldn't bother.

Start looking for reviews on the Firecuda from tech sites equivalent to this.
