    Internal hard drive keeps decelerating and disconnecting from my pc


    Over the course of two months I've had three new hard drives, first one was over 10 years old so I swapped it for a Seagate barracuda and then within a week it began to decelerate and turn off whenever in use, I thought it was faulty so I returned it and got a new one and the same thing happened. I have no idea what's causing this or how to fix it but any help would be greatly appreciated

    :)

    Disconnect internal hard drive externally

    This can be done by going into the BIOS and disabling the SATA ports the drives are on. This eliminates the need to physically remove them. Have done it a few times without issue. Just remember to re-enable the ports once done Internal hard drive keeps decelerating and disconnecting from my pc :)

    BTW all my drives are SSD as well (4 total).

    Good luck.

    Edit: HippsieGypsie's suggestion works too. And is easier than my BIOS method.

    Disconnect internal hard drive externally

    Being anal about backups and having issue after issue with Win 10, I need a way to physically disconnect/reconnect an internal backup hard drive with out cracking open the case and unplugging it. All of my hard drives are ssd.

    That would require some serious psychokinetic skill.
