Internall HDD ST1000LM035-1RK172 ejects itself on usage

Tags: Operating Systems

Hello,
Basically few weeks ago I started my Laptop
“Lenovo Legion Y530” and while playing a game, my laptop crashed with blue screen.
I restarted my laptop and HDD was gone, I couldnt find it in device manager, So I turned off my laptop completely and HDD came back, but when I would try for example delete big files it would sometimes eject HDD without crash, It also would happen when I downloaded game 100% but it needed to verify game files and it would eject hdd again, then I tried deleting few folders, but it would show deleting message, but folder would stay and if I try open it, it would say its corrupted, I tried restarting, chkdsk deleting folder from cmd, but it would stay.
I tried updating all drivers with help of Lenovo Service Bridge, but problem of HDD ejecting itself when on usage remained.
I tried many things like checking for viruses, but all of times when it touched HDD file it would eject drive instantly.
I dont know what to do.

We traced it down to a bad drive. The clue to this can be in a Web Speccy report where we look at the raw 01 and 07 SMART values.

When the drive has not been ejected, get a Web Speccy report as noted at https://www.piriform.com/docs/speccy/using-speccy/publishing-a-speccy-profile-to-the-web and share the report link here.

Bad HDD.

I see you supplied the data in https://www.cnet.com/forums/discussions/internall-hdd-st1000lm035-1rk172-ejects-itself-on-usage/

The HDD is bad. Needs replacement.
