There's a good chance that the 2TB drive has been "salvaged" from a PVR or similar.
Over in the UK we have Sky TV and some boxes have 2TB drives which are great when you get them for free.
The boxes switch off when not used and that could explain the power on count and the hours.
I have just such a drive in my PC as a temporary data drive and it has 6 years and 127 days of uptime along with 12,289 power on counts.
They're actually fairly reliable as they were designed for 24/7 use in set top boxes.
Love the twist to every episode
What program did u use to check the info of all the drives?
Great series so far btw!
that speaker is a menace!
Wish someone from Alabama would do something like this
My 120G drive from 2008 finally bit the dust last week. It will be sadly missed.
Tip: When I install Windows I have learned it is best to unplug or remove all of your drives, HDD, SSD, M.2 – except for your C: drive. Install Windows with just 1 drive in the system. If left plugged in, Windows will sprinkle stuff on the secondary drives that sort of link them. A back up may require you to do C: and D: for example. You may not be able to delete a file on D: because Windows has it locked. Weird stuff that is easy to avoid. After Windows is installed, plug the secondary drives in.
Well this was a surprising one,
Daaang,
I built (mostly built) a system for a friend earlier this week, he brought all the parts secondhand,and it wasn’t until I was building it and about to install the CPU cooler that I realised it didn’t have a Backplate 😂 so he had to go and get that from the guy he got the motherboard from. And he installed the CPU cooler himself, after I walked him through it on the phone
So moment of truth came, Computer didn’t turn, 😅😅😅😅
Have him the old, did you try turning the PSU switch, Is power connected etc etc
Still didn’t turn on
He brand it around, sure enough, nothing
I’m looking at everything, and for some reason I was like yeh, front panel connectors
I had the Power switch and Power LEDs mixed up 😂🤦♂️ so much shame
So I switched them around and she fired right up
Damn I felt stupid
Hey bro can you help me? My PC is extremely slow when copying files (even files under 500MB) and installing apps. It's freezing the entire system, and I can't even type a letter in Chrome. My old low-end PC didn't have this issue, but my new one does. Can anybody please help fix this?🥺
The speaker would have thrown me!!!!
Bootloader already existed on 2TB so when you reinstalled windows onto the nvme, it just used the existing bootloader, can corrupt if drive has issues, always wipe drives with diskpart before installing windows. if Client wants a fresh computer.
I like how u didn't bother to use diskman in cmd to remove that efi partition, it just looks like u glanced over the context menu and thought "oh, i cant delete this". U can do a override partition removal using diskman to remove protected partitions.
Hi Greg, It's Sunday, and you are making my day. @1:16, good luck, Greg. If you need a Spanish translator, you should have no problem, as you live in Florida. Just go to a house that has new roofing being installed. @20:33, HHD Aug. 2013, Holy Cow!
So I had a friend with the same booting issue, where he is prompted to restart and it would just end up in Windows diagnostics and I found out after troubleshooting that the boot sequence was out of order and was not booting on the main drive.
That little speaker was definitely causing an issue and well done in finding that! That was a tough one! Things plugged in wrong are some of the most difficult to find because of the lack of familiarity with the system. Compound that with a completely unrelated problem made it even more difficult! Well done Greg! 70,000 plus hours on a HDD!!! That's crazy! Only goes to show how well things were made back in the day.
Nice job once again
dat gpu sag tho
You made a rookie mistake… You knew that you would wipe the drives, then do it when installing windows. Much easier to wipe all partitions…
Egon Spengler to the rescue!
You dont know Spanish?
What is the tool you use to clean out dust and hair? Like the one used in this video?
alright 2020 is not old…maybe older, but till a year ago I had a laptop from 2013. That was old and the gpu could barely handle games anymore. I do really like your videos though because they are amazing! Hope to see more!
thanks for this video… i decided to try CrystalDiskInfo and one of my drives has a caution. it has Power On Hours of "46218 hours", but it's my least used drive. just something I use to back up a few times a year, so actual use is about 2 hours a year. I need to see if there's a power setting that's causing it
Edit: power settings are set to turn off drives after 20 minutes of inactivity
Edit 2: it's an external hdd, so maybe it's always on, even when I'm not using the computer. It's getting unrecoverable sectors errors
doesn't have to be bald but get a really short haircut
Btw I've been following your channel for a every long time now and this is the first time in like 3 months I get you on my feed for some reason, I don't know what the hell is going on with YouTube algorithm but I guess the only way to get notified about channels I like is by turning on notifications…
I have a 10 year old Hitachi drive that's still running smooth to this day. Granted probably for not much longer but! It's not impossible, just wild.
I had this problem going to say right now cmos battery lets see
What vacuum are you using for the cleaning part? I thought using vacuum on electronic parts is a no no.
@greg love ur white chair. could you provide the manufacturer. It looks VERY comfortable
I bet there was a 2nd drive and part of the OS was on the 2nd drive like windows likes to do. When the prev owner sold it they kept s drive. – early guess
I had a pc not boot because i plugged the reset switch upside down. Definitely check your cables first when troubleshooting new builds or builds you've unplugged everything for.
You have the most gorgeous hair.
Wow, I would not guess that issue. Nice catch! Two tips: 1: in the future unplug other drives to avoid "dual boot", you can fix it later with commands, but it's a hassle, 2: to wipe a drive that had windows on it, use diskpart in the command line. use diskpart list, then select disk (number) and then command clean. It will wipe out "locked" gpt drive.
greg in your next video can you show off your yu-gi-oh cards please
my old 1.5 TB is 40530 hours 😀
13:58 why would you create a user, let the owner do that. Use the Audit mode, that's exactly what it is for.
this video is curse when i turn on hdr while this video play i got blue of screen of death
Bridging random pins with a low resistance speaker can cause really weird stuff. So yeah, make sure you plug stuff in correctly, people.
An AMD CPU, that's the problem.
Hard drive LED light is most likely 3.5 volt of 5. If the speaker was 8 ohms, then we can take 5 x 8 to get 40 watts. From this simple math, we can see that speaker would be using 40 watts on that 5 volt power rail. That could be a big issue if that power rail could not supply the amps, causing the voltage to drop. It is simple Ohms law.
The amount of issues I've seen due to improper connections on the F-Panel are surprisingly diverse.
That speaker could easily have been causing issues.
those drives should be rated to run for around 1,500,000 hours, Mean time between failures (MTBF)
Liked the video, only pickle is at 16:28 960 mb remained unallocated , you can see at 19:28 1.81TB instead of 1.82..other than that, great.
