I had bought a HDD from a user in TE. The drive was old when I bought it and it worked well until a few days ago, where it would get randomly unmounted and mounted (On windows and mac). I used crystal mark and saw the temps were 48 C and during load it was reading 50+C. My case is Antec VSK10 and I have mounted the HDD in the drive bay. There is no direct ventilation for the HDDs.
Today it showed the above error, and from the reading I have done it looks like this is the end of the line for the drive.
I was thinking of getting a 2 TB HDD, but if I put it back in same space would the temperatures damage my HDDs in the long run?
Also, would it be better to go with a slower, 2.5 HDD so there is more space for air to move around?
