HDD Clicking, normally (HD)

[someawsomeguy]

seagate 7200.11s are known to be amongst the most unreliable hard drives on the market

Thanks for posting, I already was afraid my main backup drive (school stuff) was failing

@Rundfunk90 Normal like sound of scratching noise and bad is sound like clock ticking sound

wow thanks, this is a relief. I have a seagate 1TB 7200 drive, possibly the same as that, and hear this grinding/clicking a fair bit while it's being accessed during stuff like file transfers. I was worried there for a while, but it looks like theres nothing wrong with it then.

I've done checks with Seatools for Windows, and its says the health of my drive is fine and it passes all the normal tests.

Thumbs up :)

Thank you for showing us what normal hard drive "clicking" sounds like.

My laptop is almost 4 years old and makes that noise from time to time, and I was told that if I heard clicking noises, it meant that my hard drive was going to fail soon.

Now I know that the sounds my HDD are making are normal.

Still, I think I'm going to try the spinrite cd my friend gave me for maintenance reasons.

I was gonna get that case.. then I saw the sexier Antec Skeleton.

Sadly, I think newegg sent me a bad HDD because my computer was preforming so slowly after I built it. And I think it just failed today.. because.. long story.

The arm of a hard drive is artificial intelligence (This does not apply to and cd/dvd/blueray etc etc... floppy drive). The arm is a pulse of nerve yes and the exact same frequency of the human mind. Artificial Intellingence at its closest to man kind just fyi for all of you AI fans

it sounds like my hdd arm moves and goes back once every few seconds.

The hard drive i took the cover off of was an old one that i didn't care about.

if you have data on the drive, or if you plan to keep using it, do not open it.
