Multiple Hardrive failure over the course of a year
So my question is, is there anything whether it be software or hardware that could cause multiple DIFFERENT brands and sizes and types of hard drives to keep failing?
The story is: in 2015 I had to replace 2 barracudas (I know they are terrible anyways) but then i went and got two 1 TB WD Blacks and one WD SSD 250gb and reset my computer with a fresh install of windows 10 x64 pro. two weeks later one of the WD blacks went bad. went and replaced it rebuilt my raid, and then it worked fine for like 3 months. Now my SSD went bad and i had it exchanged.
Is there anything inside my computer (hardware) that could cause this kind of thing to happen? Or maybe a software problem?
If you need anymore information let me know!!
EDIT: The system specs i currently have on my profile is not the pc that i am having this issue on. Give me time to update them when i get the computer running again. (Install windows 10 again). I will post another edit when i have done so.
While I am here, it wouldn't hurt to ask. I have a built raid 1 with the two aforementioned WD Blacks. When I install windows 10 x64 on the replaced ssd, is there any extra setup required to get windows to recognize those apps and programs i installed onto the other drives? (I realize this may or may not belong here, so I apologize if it does not. But seeing as it is related to the main issue at hand I figured why clutter the forum?)
