  • I have a 1.5 tb hd that makes this noise,is their any way that I can still get the data off of the hd some way?

  • @Neal123 Sometimes if you let it sit powered off for a few hours it might come back to life for a little bit. You can always try the freezer trick. Stick it in the freezer for 3 mins then try to boot it.

  • why is it called the click of death?

    does it die/fail shortly afterwards?

    or is it just an annoying sound

  • It's called "the click of death" because 9 out of 10 times when it makes that sound the hard drive is dead. This particular hard drive was 95% dead before i pulled the top off. It was able to partially boot. It would get right past the "windows is starting" screen and then sit there. It was completely unable to read the rest of the OS. I was able to pull some files off the drive by using a SATA to USB connector, but it didn't mount easily.

  • OH sweet jesus, i bought two of these bloody seagate external hard drives, both 1TB, how long do they last before they die?????????????

    thanks for replying to my other question by the way :) but now i wanna cryy cause the scary news

  • Well this drive was an internal drive. Just keep backups of what you put on the drives on DVDs and as soon are you think it's making the sound pull whatever you can off it. Seagate is really good about honoring their warrantee so if they do fizzle out just file for replacement. I had a seagate FreeAgent Desk 1TB that went out on me. The replaced it no prob.
