Both started throwing smart errors, the last one was failing to detect in POST as well, but didn't have any performance issues once it had detected. It was ten months old.
Now another drive that i got back as an RMA return for a drive i bought that was dead has died after a month or three, throwing a different smart error and loosing a bunch of data.
This latest failure came shortly after some attempts at serious overclocking that involved an awful lot of crashing in windows, so i assumed that was what happened to the data until i discovered that it doesn't pass smart quick tests.
Now i'm wondering what's going on!
Is it possible to kill a hard drive via overclocking? Seems like probably not to me, but what do i know?
