Hard drive (s) gone

[Daniel]

I have a small weird problem where hard drives can disappear and suddenly become unavailable for any use. There is no worse for me than to reset the system for the hard drive (s) again to be available, but I want to find an optimal and lasting solution to this problem.

I recently replaced checked all data cables, and that I have upgraded to bigger PSU because of the need (1kW). All hard drives are checked for good contact with the power and data cable, so there is no contact problem it is in.

Could it be something with multiple disk controllers, or problem with one of the controllers?

Install the latest drivers for the disk controller from your manufacturer's website. Maybe that could help.

Do u use WD as HDD vendor. If so replace ur HD. Its quite common problem with WD. I also face same problem & I know some more ppl who face it.

Latest drivers are installed, but not the latest firmware for sure - they have no option other than floppy, and I do not really take the chance (yet) using the memory stick, but I consider it strongly.
