Hey folks.

Here is the situation.
Pretty new (~5months) Seagate BarraCuda 4TB 5900RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB HDD, there are some errors popping up recently. First there are 1 second game freezes all the time, obviously games are installed on this HDD. (Windows - not). If I am trying to scan it for errors and other stuff via windows it says there are errors which must be fixed, click to fix, restart your PC etc. Clicking, scanning and as result nothing can be fixed and this all repeats and repeats.
I've tried to use Seagate software for quick diagnostic and stuff but there is the same story, the HDD can't be checked for some reason.
Any suggestions are welcome. I think it is still under warranty.

If a new SATA cable or different motherboard port (or driver!) doesn't solve it, then RMA/bin it and replace the drive.

A failing hard drive will cause endless headaches and system instability.
