Bro have you tried replacing the hdd cable?? If yes & you're still facing the problem, then change the hdd power cable(PSU) with anther one. Just so you know I faced a similar problem back then but in my case my hdd started working after I replaced my Power Supply with a branded good quality one.

SO i just checked under "Health" tab it is failing in Air flow temperature, is this the problem? is it fixable?
Could be. There may be no airflow within the case and around that specific Hard disk. The normal temp of hdd should not exceed 60c.
Can you share a screenshot of health tab with airflow temperature being selected.

Ok i have attached(Link) the screen shot above, apart from that i also observed this very strange thing whenever i start Qbittorrent( downloading a movie) HDD disconnects i had to make sure and i am 100% sure as i have changed the option "donot start on windows startup" and whenever i start Qbittorrent it downloads 2% and it disconnects no matter what i download yes i havent tried other torrent software and i have been using Qbittorrent for many years, and temperature seems to be ok in Seagate sea tools for windows currently i am running a long scan its on 14% done will share it that too once its done.

This could be a sensor issue. Which drive is, 4TB or 320GB? How old your drive is?

Also, try checking the status of health on Hard disk Sentinel. Make sure chassis has some ventilation inside. A closed case with zero airflow causes trouble.

4TB is having issue and its 6 years old and my 320 Gb hard disk with OS is much older then 4TB it is installed like two slots below DVD Writer(Not working) ok i will try Hard Disk sentinel after i am done using Sea Tools software, so far hard disk is working fine after 3 or 4 hours but i know as soon as i turn on Qbittorrent it will disconnect after 10 or 15 Minutes.

I need a little help so as i said i will Install Windows 10 Pro so i made this Bootable usb/Hard Drive using this setting Partition Scheme GPT and Target System UEFI anyhow i backed up the data and rebooted the system to install the window it gave me error with heading of "ERROR: LEGACY BOOT OF UEFI MEDIA" saying that it this drive can only boot in UEFI mode and i should recreate it in rufus using following settings Partition Scheme MBR with target system MBR anyhow i rebooted the system went in BIOS i Enabled UEFI Mode and saved the settings i guess now it will install WIndows 10 now i wanna ask SHOULD I GO AHEAD AND INSTALL IT WITH UEFI ENABLED? PLEASE REPLY QUICKLY SO THAT I CAN INSTALL WINDOWS 10 I HAVE TO INSTALL TONS OF THINGS TOO.
So two Drives are GPT and the one with OS(Windows 7) is not GPT.

Its very unfortunate, did you do a complete format your 320gb before installing new OS ?? if yes then it looks like a drive issue. try changing cable port of 320gb hdd with that of 4tb.

Also CMOS battery cost Rs 50 can give it a try at this point probably uou have done everything to troubleshoot a faulty drive, from HD sentinal dive is 100%

Try any other torrent client like uTorrent.

try Hard Disk Sentinel and check health there. Also check sata cable. May b ur sata cable is not accepting heavy data.

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
