    HDD issues


    Hey, So i've been having a few issues with a 4TB WD Black that I purchased, I pretty much assumed it was a faulty drive after trying to disable HDD going to sleep possibly breaking it but essentially whenever I Initialize the HDD It's a secondary drive not primary and format it as a GPT within a few hours my computer will freeze and when it restarts the drive will be uninitialized again so I have to reformat it and lose all the information on the drive. But I noticed if I format it as an MBR Which caps it at 2TB I've had it going without freezing my PC for 2 days now and hasn't needed to be reformatted, I'm struggling to find any information as to why this would happen and before I request a refund from pccasegear I just want to make sure it's not a weird conflict with my PC

    :)

    Hi Johan,

    It is possible that your
    HDD was unreadable
    causing the error message to appear. We recommend that you perform these troubleshooting steps and check if there are any changes:


    • Shutdown
      your
      PC.

    • Unhooked
      the
      HDD
      and
      turn on
      your
      PC.

    • Reconnect
      your
      HDD
      and
      restart
      your
      PC.

    If the issue persists, we suggest that you contact your
    laptop/computer's manufacturer
    for further assistance.

    Update us on how it goes.

    Regards.

    HDD Corrupt ?

    Hi,

    There are many possible reasons this issue is happening. We'd like to ask few questions below:

    • What is the brand name of you Hard Disk Drive?
    • How old is the HDD?
    Since you already tried multiple troubleshooting steps, we suggest visiting the manufacturer's website. Find and download a hard drive diagnostic software to help resolve the issue.

    Let us know how it goes.
