Hi all
Got a server and one of my samsung F4 seems to be going as every so often when the sever comes out of standby the drive is not there and I have to do a full power off for it to come back.
It seems to be doing it more and more and i have tried a different cable and sata port and its still doing it if i restart windows the drive is still not there but if i power the system off and power it back up the drive comes back. (people might be able to help me on that ?)
tried updating the bios
tried a different sata cable
tried a different sata controller on the motherboard.
have 6 drives in total and seems to be the same drive doing it all the time well at least every 1 out ofevery 10 times I wake the pc from sleep.
so i am going to replace the drive with a 4TB WD but i dont know which drive is best the greens or the reds.
I dont have a NAS just a PC with lots a hardrives in there and acts as a server.
can anyone help of give me some info on what drives ok. I have a couple of WD 3TB greens but i can not seem to find any reviews of the 4TB greens just the reds.
thanks for any help
