Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
well i tried diskpart and did a clean command, but it didn't do anything as far as i can see. but now the dead drive is not even seen as disc 0 in either diskpart or disk mangament, it's like the driver disappeared, pretty sure it's dead for sure now.
i did get the WD gold installed and copied...
ordered a 10TB gold incase this drive for sure is tits up, thanks, will look more into the ironwolf soon i guess and see if the diskpart stuff does anything, AFTER i check backups

i know everything is stupid expensive right now, but is this a good alternative for the ironwolf, its just a storage drive with music, pics, video ect......
i only really need about 10TB but 12 14 wouldn't hurt for future...
diskdrill found nothing there at all, it asked me to reboot after installing, think that will change anything ?
thanks for the advice so far everyone :)
i do have backups, 1 desktop external and 2 internal drives that i plug a dock ocationaly, plus i have backblaze if it synced up recently, but not sure how far back they go, i may lose a little music and some doggie pictures LOL
maybe i check to make sure the backups do work
so my 5 1/2 year old drive, this one here https://www.amazon.com/dp/B085ZB51HW will not initialize in windows 10, my system went to do an update and it seemed to be taking a long time to reboot, when it did reboot the drive is gone, it gives me these errors, is this a software issue, i removed...
