Hi,
Is there some component in a Mac Pro that could fail in a way that would kill
hard drives?
I have been running Mountain Lion (ML) on a 2012 Mac Pro for over a year. In
recent months, it started doing some flaky things, so I decided to do a fresh
install of ML on a different hard drive.
Gregg,
I've experienced similar drive failures and the cause for me turned out to be a
weak power supply. See if you can test the power supply under load;
free-running measurements mean nothing. Or swap out the power supply with
another unit.
HTH,

Hi Carl,
I was wondering if a bad power supply could be the cause.
Also, a friend said that something could have gone bad on the SATA bus part of
the motherboard.
I will see if I can get someone locally to help me look into this.
Thanks,
Gregg

Agreed. Power supply is a primary suspect; also bad heat sensor in the drive
area, or the fan it controls.
