  • Same here! How can i stop this noise?? Defragment didn't work for me :(

  • @Athens561987 You should probably visit a tech forum like techspot or tom's hardware, they will give you much better answers then me.

  • @DrPersonman I did and he told me that probably my HD is failing , but judging from your video it's not a problem. I have run 3 different program test and they all found my disc health ok! I bought this Drive 40 euro 2 years ago and now it costs 170! Due to the WD factory disaster.It would be a shame if i just throw them away.How long did yours lasted after this noise? Thanks 4 the reply BTW : )

  • @Athens561987 It still works fine though for the last year and half I have switched from using it as my main drive to using it for backups and downloads.

  • @HoneycombAgent mine works hard at start up( got mechanic registry running and prob other crap i don't need going at startup) but sometimes makes this weird KERCHEW noise after it stops spinning fast. No other symptoms other then the weird noise, but mechanic registry tells me my system health is LOW and i do get alot of "not responding" messages but think it's prob alot of software errors?

  • Check your hard drive if it has bad sector. I think

  • I have this exact same noise. And it's not necessarily during intense read/write operations. Although that is when it's at it's worst. Is this normal??

  • well... I just got the same thing... The starnge thing about mine is that it only sounds when I'm NOT using the hard drive. When I use it, it sounds completely normal... Sooooo strange :p

  • For everyone saying there hdd sounds like that it's a good thing it's going and reading the data u hear the motor and the heads it s 100% ok

  • That is normal drive access noise. If you notice a lot of unusual amount of hard disk activity going on or it takes forever to load programs or files, then you will need to defragment it.

  • @persianboyshayan Yes it is.

  • That's normal. It's just doing it's job :D
