Hi! I'm having an issue with my HDDs. The third one stopped working in my PC, and I'm not sure how bad it is. After replacing the first one, it worked fine for a month. Then the second one failed completely—I didn't understand what went wrong. When I say "broken down," I mean either an I/O error or something that made it unreadable or unwriteable. The first broke after an I/O problem, and the second wouldn't even boot. This time, the third was a hard install. After the first boot, my PC kept beeping and didn't stop. I changed the power cable, using the one with three paths, but it still stopped beeping. Once it worked, I could play games like GTA and Fortnite. But after a few days, it started beeping again when I loaded something, then reset itself after half a minute. That meant I couldn't download or start installed games. After unplugging and plugging it back in, it seemed to work, but the problem still lingers. Any help would be appreciated! 😊

I'm not sure if the issue is with the cable, but it definitely doesn't sound right!

Check if the HDD is securely fastened within the enclosure. Incorrect installation can lead to vibration-related damage.
