This isn't possible right, my hard drives cant ALL be failing at once?

Does this automatically = my motherboard needs replacing, or can it be something else?

Can you post the S.M.A.R.T. values of your drives? That should give a good indication of what's actually going on.

There's many tools out there for that. Here's one that doesn't need installation and can output the results in a text file:

When multiple separate pieces of HW fail at the same time, the first thing to look to is environmental.

Two biggest environmental factors: electricity from the power supply and system heat. It's possible to bake HDDs with too high internal case temperatures.

Another 'environmental' factor is of course the motherboard, since everything has to talk to it, if there's something wrong with it, other parts of the system can start showing problems. Since your list shows an SSD is going bad as well as regular HHDs, it's probably more likely to be a motherboard / SW problem than it is an actual problem with all of those separate HDs.

Also, SMART can give false negatives, but rarely gives false positives.



None.

SMART shows all green except for one or two error things that I don't understand.

I have all my HDs working now, I think it was heat. Didn't realise HDs ran that risk. It is a brutal Australian summer, and my case fan filters were pretty dusty - so I have cleaned them out. Haven't noticed any errors so far.

NimoStar -- If its any consolation, the human brain would still mop the floor with this bot if it wasn't limited by the mechanical interface

NimoStar -- Well. The bot didn't come up with any new strategy. It just has superhuman micro. Hard to beat that. I reckon even the simplest dedicated chess engines are unbeatable for humans now.

Oops, caught me there, no I haven't. :( I was imagining how the game went. Sorry for that. Watching it now. brb

NimoStar shouted: They were not "Unprepared" that was their fifth loss in a row against the bot. The other replays are also available
that doesn't mean he was prepared. When humans come around with new strategies it often takes weeks until the pros figure out how to shut it down. Oh_Man that's certainly a way more convincing argument for micro being "too good to beat".
