A Disk Read Error Occured, Does that Mean My Boot Drive Died? or Can My Other Disks be the Cause?

So we’re you using the computer when the error occurred? If yes, it was probably the other drive or it was a minor read error. Are you using Windows? If yes, you could do a check disk in command prompt (chkdsk) on both drives with the parameters to repair the repair and recover.

I don’t know, it wasn’t me using it.

But upon troubleshooting it (reseating most of the parts), it’s okay now.

When you get a chance to, I would run something like CrystalDiskInfo. That app shows you SMART data (think of SMART like vitals for a hard drive) from the drive. Make sure the drive health shows “Good” or “Okay”

It depends on the error. No way to say without more information.
