Thanks MaloK! Manufactured 2014. Likely no longer under warranty!

Thanks for the tip. After seeing the results on this drive (SMART Fail, Short DST Fail), I've decided to cut my losses.
I was able to manually transfer what was missing on my backup. Will be wiping...

OK thanks - speaking of copying the data ...my backup prior to crash was probably 98% up-to-date.
I'd like to finish the job while inside Win10PE. I tried to run the portable version of...

Really? Even if I can see and access all of its contents when using Win10PE? (as shown in my "screen" shot)

Thank you. I went thru this process and booted in WinPE and was able to see my crashed drive and browse its contents. (drive letter was not the same in WinPE as in Win10 but I guess that's normal?)

I'm back and it looks like your lead is the only one I can go on at this point. When you say Live Boot disk, I've already created a rescue media on a USB stick using Macrium Reflect (which I think...

Thanks for the suggestions! I'm traveling so I may not be able to report back til next week.

Pressing ESC did not do anything! Only key that does anything at this point...

Hi, this morning I suddenly found myself unable to save a project file so I rebooted my computer. I was greeted by this warning which I've never had before. It looks like my main project drive, a...

This is why I am baffled that I can guess so accurately!

OK thank you - bookmarked!

Care to show me where please?

Over the last 6 months I've observed some weird little things that occur on my PC when there's a Windows 10 Cumulative update available but I'm not aware of it. I noticed the correlation. Something...

yes thats exactly what I noticed the difference in... text in Windows, text in apps, the clarity of GUIs....
i guess it seems like the more one scales up, the more the crispiness is lost...or is...

Hi, I recently upgraded my monitor to 4K and noticed that Windows Scaling shows the value of 150% as Recommended. Leaving it at 100% is super crisp, clean, but small - the upgraded resolution is...

Well, looks like I'm outta luck. I wrongly assumed all hard drives were 5-year warranty.... this one looks like it was 4 years only!

Not sure what I should do with it... maybe use it as a...

Yeah - it might be more of a thing of the past, concerns like this.
I'm probably worrying way too much.

Thanks for the link - ironically they mention the Samsung S6 - well, I have the S8 and the...

SECOND QUESTION: Screen saver is set to come on after 3 minutes....but it only does 50% of the time. I can't identify what might be causing this hit/miss...

dalchina - the issue is back.
The hard drive (the 5TB WD Black 7200RPM) is still randomly disappearing despite having been moved from slot Disk 1 to Disk 2. Usually disappears after PC as slept...

I've set my new 4K monitor to power off after 20 minutes of inactivity. (Windows -- Power & Sleep options).
I was wondering if this is sufficient to protect it from getting burned in or if I should...

OK! So I reseated the drive to an entirely new spot. Whereas it was previously Disk 1, it is now Disk 2.
Taking it's place as Disk 1 is my new SSD.
I also made sure not to reconnect it using the...

Good eye! Indeed that is the one.

I'll see what I can do in terms of recabling when I open the tower in a few hours.
It's unfortunate that the other thread is unsolved...I really hope its just a...

Thanks dalchina

I downloaded and ran Fulleventlogview and I seem to have had alot of warnings...and a handful of errors...
Now that it's installed, I'll note the time of the next "disconnect"...

Seems fine doesn't it?

In terms of reseating, we are talking about just physically removing the cable and reinserting it?

How do I inspect the event viewer for "related reports"? This...

In the last 2 months I've noticed one of my secondary internal drives starting to "dissappear". I can't seem to reproduce it on purpose but it has happened enough times to have me concerned and...

Hmmm... but if the problem was the (included) cable between the enclosure and the monitor, the issue would carry over when the same is connected to the tower no? (since it is the same cable)

And...

I find this weird and I'm hoping someone can explain why the SSD enclosure is performing so poorly when connected to the computer thru the USB port built-in the monitor?

If you look at the...
