Repair or replace hard drive
Hi sevenforums,
I just received a windows message saying that I should repair or replace my harddrive. I am hoping to get some advice.
I am using a lenovo y580, which is known for hard drive heating issue. To resolve this, I took out the DVD drive, bought a HD caddy and replaced my hard drive into the DVD drive bay which reduced the heat significantly.
Right now, I am having the issue of is it a HD caddy failure, DVD drive bay connector failure or the HD failure itself?
Am I resigned to trial and error but running disc check normally or put back the HD into its original bay and test it.
Any help will be much appreciated as I will be buying a new HD or HD caddy. Thanks!
