Hope someone can help me out o at least point me on some general direction. So I've had this rig for 4 years now I think.
So the issue I've been having and for a bit ignored is that all drives I've ever put in my rig other than my main have all crapped out in the same way.

SO the first one I had was a 1TB HHD which worked fine for a while, but after a few weeks it started to have Disk Write Errors whenever I tried to install anything on it. Everything installed on it worked fine for a few days after the Disk Write Errors but then my PC started having some trouble detecting the drives, eventually detecting it as a drive that needed to be formatted in order to work. Formatting it did nothing and eventually the Disk Tool in windows stopped detecting it all together.


This happened with one other drive and I didn't mind that much, because I never stored much in there other than some games. Now it happened once again with an SSD I purchased recently. Worked well for a while, longer than the HDDs, but just yesterday it started detecting Disk Write Errors. Just know my computer stopped detecting the drive all together.
I know the information is a bit on the vague side, but I have absolutely no idea why all other drives except the main one are just dying on me, and curiously on the same manner.
 
I am assuming the pc is still running. So please download Speccy so we can get your pc spec's. https://www.piriform.com/speccy

Hi Cysina.
I once had a friends computer doing the same thing. Kept on destroying Hard Drives. Over 9 mths I took back five hard drives, and they were replaced under warranty. Another HDD went, and the computer shop would not replace the Hard Drive after so many. Said something had to be causing this. To make a long story short, it turned out the Power Supply was flaky, under/over volting,were destroying the Hard Drives.. Changed Power Supply and now been near two years without another hard Drive failing.
I would swap out the PSU and see if Hard Drive issues stop.
