Hard Drive(s) Problems? Help?

[AOD_Danneskjold]

So I recently had trouble with my computer. I thought the whole thing was dying. It was originally built in ~2008, but I've replaced bits and pieces over the years including the HD's, the MB, the processor, RAM, Video Card... Newest thing is a 1660 video card from 3 or 4 years ago.


Anyway, I started having major problems downloading things to the 2 physical HD's, and transferring between my HD's and my SSD's. I thought the whole thing was crashing down, so I reinstalled Windows 10.

The problem persisted. But then I discovered that the problem ONLY occurred between my disc Hard Drives. Sending files between and operating solely on my SSD's works fine.


I know that HD's can go bad. But to have 2 go bad at the same time? Is it possible that it's a problem with my MB and the HD's only? And that my HD's aren't bad, but my MB is?


Thanks for any help!

I assume that your HD's are plugged into the SATA header. Is your SSD plugged into a M.2 slot?

No M.2's. Everything plugged in to the SATA cables.

Can you read from them? Just can't write from one to another?

I can read from them. It's just that sending any files to or from them, including downloading, times out and crashes windows entirely. Even after I reinstalled Windows.

My Sata SSD's seem fine.

It might be happening to my other drives now, too. A steam update to an SSD timed out and crashed Windows Explorer.

In all my years I have never came across this problem. I would have to start searching google for possible solutions. If you have a spare HDD I would try using that to see if you get the same problems,
