4 failed hard disks in a month

[brenthecable]

I wonder has anyone else had problems with failed hard disks

I have
Gigabyte P55 UD5
i5 750
650W PSU
3 x 1TB drives in RAID 5 configuration

originally 3 Seagate drives, one failed
replaced with a WD drive and three of these have failed also

drives have been tried in different SATA ports and on different PSU strings

Any ideas?

I used to work with a guy who could kill a hard drive just by picking it up.

Did he walk barefoot on carpets and wear wool sweaters?

What is your Manufacturer/model of your PSU?

Like shaftymcnasty, I suspect your PSU as well.

Nope...My theory is that he had some sort of electro-megnet field or something about him.

He didn't last too long. Great guy though.

Like in that episode of Greatest American Hero, where he gets magnetized?

In my socket A system back in the day it would eat optical drives, dont know why but after the 3rd CD drive i suspected the PSU. I replaced it and all was well.
