Topic: Software to Test HDD Controllers?
Replies: 7
Views: 5786

I removed the cables and reconnected each drive, one by one. Each was detected, so I ran a complete checkdisk on each. When it was all said and done, all 3 drives were working. Very odd. I think I'll find a suitable external HDD and backup everything important as soon as possible.

Thanks for all ...

Since you're suspecting the SATA controllers....do they detect other drives OK?
Are any of your current 2 failed drives able to be detected on another PC?
Depending on the brand of computer/motherboard, many have onboard diagnostics for your drive controllers.
Can try another SATA cable too.

Software to Test HDD Controllers?

I've recently lost two HDD's with absolutely no warning. The first drive to go was less than 6 months old, the other was several years old. Neither of the drives were being used as the primary OS drive. Both drives are WD, the first was lost under Windows XP, the second under Windows 7.

I've been running it as my primary OS for about a month. The only issues I've had are my wireless will go to sleep after an extended period of non-use, and the memory usage while "idle" seems to creep up over time.

There are known problems with the front USB ports on some Antec cases. Either the wiring to the mobo, or the PCB. Something about not being 2.0 compliant.

Google it, you'll see. Antec has sent repair kits to some in the past.

You can devote an individual ATA channel to each drive and make them both master (if you have the channels...). I don't think that Windows cares if they are master or slave. Performance wise it wouldn't matter since game discs only spin up to check the media then sit there.
