This was a video of my first LaCie d2 Qudra External Hard drive - 1TB. I bought it because my Western Digital hard drive was starting to rattle and make scary noises so I bought this drive to move my stuff onto so I wouldn't loose anything, Never hurts to have a backup of the backup!!! Anyways, this first LaCie I got rattles too - not good. So I sent it back and now have a second one which has been working great!!!

  • 1:00 WTF you really shouldnt move a drive that is on! Especially not hit it like that!

  • @MYsterYmarcus I know, but this drive was already dead and then it would just rattle.

  • yes, it is normal...

  • @Gardala ....normal for a drive that died a week later.

  • Make sure the surface the drive is on is flat and not touching anything. I had a Lacie next to another one, both with Aluminum case and the noise was annoying. If the noise is internal, then I would back up data just to be safe.

  • @sdschramm i bet all that shakin at 1:00 broke it man hahaha

  • Well, I can tell you hitting it wouldn't solve it. That's.... not a very... err... smart thing to do. Anyway, the rattling in that hard disk is bad bearings. That can cause the head to crash.

  • @foelde Back-up the data!

  • Had the same problem, shoudl have backed up that crap.

    RIP Porche Lacie 500 GB

  • @sdschramm AW HELL NO did it die?

    SHIIITT

    I got a new computer like 3,5 months ago

    (check my channel for video's and deatails)

    A WD caviar green HD

    It makes a rattling noise when i start the computer

    when it wakes from hibernation or sleep it doesnt rattle

    it only rattles from a fres windows boot

    Should i be worried?

  • It hurts so bad when you hit it to the floor.

    Like, i know you know it was already broken but still, the pain!

  • @sdschramm oh ...
