the prices are all over the place, i paid about 330, but in a week it was 470

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...

tried that also and it didnt see drive at all

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

or this gold class ? https://www.newegg.com/gold-wd103kryz-10tb-for-enterprise-storage-7200-rpm/p/1Z4-0002-01PT3?Item=1Z4-0002-01PT3

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0DF99JTF1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 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...

haven't looked just yet

wrong reply just now but yes interested in drive

rebooting found nothing in diskdrill

i learned a long time ago running raid-0 with IBM gpox-60 drives what can happen without backups, OMG those were the days

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

does it showing up in drive manager mean it at least powers up, i haven't opened case yet to investigate

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...
