Hi, i recently got a new desktop pc. While everything in the pc is new, The secondary hard drive was not. I'm using it for storage while OS is on an ssd.
Its a 1tb seagate hard drive from 2016. It ran ok for a month, but recently, it started to keep disconnecting from the pc. I changed the cables and used a different power cord, but it still keeps happening after about an hour of the pc being on. When i check it for bad sectors, everything turns up ok. When i access it, all the data is there. But the problem of it randomly disconnecting still remains. Im forced to restart since the pc locks up, and sometimes won't even boot until it picks up the hard drive again.
I'm not sure what exactly the issue is. Can this be fixed or will i need a new hard drive? Is there any shop i can go to in karachi which can diagnose this for me and transfer data to a new hdd if need be
