Windows 10: "HDD/SSD failure detected" error when USB drive plugged in

Hi all
Having a slightly odd problem. I just moved across the world and took parts of my PC with me but not all - I replaced the case and power supply in my new country. Since rebuilding everything it works completely fine, identical setup, but for some reason when I have my external HDD plugged in (which I had 24/7 back home), I get an error prior to boot indicating that my drive(s) are critically failing and "could crash at any moment". However there is absolutely nothing wrong with aforementioned drive, if I plug it in after booting normally I can browse my files and use my PC just fine. What's the deal? Any thoughts would be much appreciated. Thanks

:)

 

USB HDD: IN BIOS

Hi AJAY, in modern BIOS (UEFI) it is normal to have USB devices listed, such as USB HDD without drive being plugged in.

In older Legacy BIOS, a drive would have to be plugged in for it to be listed in BIOS, but not no londer . . .

SSD vs HDD Failure

Even though SSDs can have catastrophic failures rather than slow death. The failure rate of an SSD is far below any HDD. Most SSD falure rates are below .50% were HDD are 2 to5 % some as high as 12%

I use an SSD for Boot and games, another for a temp drive for video editing. Then a HDD for storing data

I take it your NAS has platter drives?
