New HDD Malfunction Sound?

My HDD seems to be broken. I managed to open it and see what was happening. Ive never seen this kind of noise anywhere on internet.... (I think it happened because of high temperature)

Hard disk drives cannot function in normal air. Deal with it ! That's why they have air filters in them and hdd recovery labs require special dust-free enclosures.

@SINEKT

Who said I wanted it to function opened? Where did you get this idea from? Try reading the info below the video before posting troll-talk.

My Seagate was dropped and it is now making this same sound.  How did you fix it??

Thanks!

@beccasolovely If you can access the data backup it. Then buy another. Mine become one stirling engine :p

Having the drive open might be causing more of those errors than anything else. I had a drive once (it was old and dying) it would work fine as long as the case was closed, but if you would take the case off it wouldn't read anything. Near as I can tell it was because with the cover off the turbulence isn't under control inside it.

This was happening before. Then I opened to see what was going on inside. It was already damaged.

If it would happend to my hdd then i will add an ventilation box (forgot that real name it was: air....)

Just kidding

Two problems. Actually, three. Bad sectors preventing the hard drive from picking up, a head crash, and bad bearings. You're screwed. :\

[TheSporeCrazed]

Might be that the entire hard drive is a bad sector

[rada660]

this kind os sound, is a mix of 2 problem, first its clicking, saying its have sector failure, thus, the reader head cant read what on the actual sector, and its do that each time a malfunctionning sector is detetced, and then secondly, the little buzzing high pitched sound right after the click, its mean a head crash, its does mean teh reader head have "crashed" into the disk or other component ( in this vid me think into the center of disk ) if so, reader head no more work aswell :(

How is getting hurt so fucking funny?

@SINEKT by pressurized I don't mean air tight.... example: "I had a drive once (it was old and dying) it would work fine as long as the case was closed, but if you would take the case off it wouldn't read anything." <<< written by mattg889.... the likely reason is that the read/write heads weren't floating properly ect; if you check out the data recovery video's I had mentioned with Scott Moulton its all there....

[SINEKT]

@plasmar1: Hard drives are not pressurized. The air inside is in direct contact with the outside air through an air duct and air filter, pretty much like in a car's engine. So whatever the atmospheric pressure is, that's the air pressure in the hard drive.

[plasmar1]

@SINEKT that is a partial misconception, check out the data recovery vids on youtube(with Scott Moulton)... hard drives can work in a regular environment(air); yes the dust in the air will help kill em faster but that's not the point... the misunderstanding comes from the way that lots of hard drives are sealed. The way drives are sealed has more to do with keeping pressurization at a point where the read/write heads float in mid air best and less to do with air quality.

I've had a hard drive opened that I opened and after a gentle tap I was able resume backing up critical data off the drive (mainly videos and mp3s). . .In retrospect I should have allowed it to continue operation until it failed again, just to see. However I knew that once opened it was trash, so I dissected it afterward for the heck of it.
