First my PSU, now HDDYes,this is a sign of failing hdd. Get a new hdd & start copying important data.I suggest getting a ssd this time for OS/programs & 1TB hdd for storage.120gb ssd now costs 1500 only & is enough for windows install & some essential software.
Also,do not assume any hdd/ssd as 100% safe.Always keep a backup of important data in at least 2 different places(e.g.original data in ssd & copy in hdd or original data in hdd & copy in external portable hdd/google drive).
No one can predict the time. WD Blue is good in budget.First my PSU, now HDD
In any case, I have everything already backed up in my external hdd. Is it possible to give an idea how much time does my current HDD have left before it fails?
Also, I'm looking at the WD Blue as a replacement for it. Is it a good choice?
And I'm not that familiar with ssd's. Which one do you suggest I should buy?
