My hard drive failed a few weeks ago, so I purchased a new HD (Seagate BarraCuda ST2000DM008 2TB 7200 RPM 256MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive). After getting the new hard drive installed and recovered from my backup on an external hard drive, it worked fine for a day, the next day the new hard drive failed. I ran several diagnostic tests and it seems the hard drive has definitely failed again. I have read that this is most likely caused by the power supply. Can anyone reaffirm this?
I don't want to buy a new hard drive and a power supply if I am just going to end up with another failed hard drive.

hi
you do not have to buy another hard drive, if you bought it new, it is guaranteed
Sometimes it can just be bad luck..
This may be a power surge, power outage problem, but I don't see too much of a direct link with the computer's power supply.

I told you the main causes
you can have a failed disk, even a new one
A big shock given, during use, can also cause this, but it's more with laptops
as I told you, your hard disk, if purchased new, must be guaranteed, do not hesitate to make it work, whatever, you will see if it starts again or not, it must be exchanged for you free of charge
