Hi guys , yesterday i asked a lot of people in here about my WD Caviar green sound

this is the link :

and then later that night , i heard like a thump noise coming from my case

so i opened the case , and the sound is coming from the HDD , because everytime i play a video , music , or playing games , the thumping sound is there , and everytime i close all of the program , the case would not make any sound

 

this is the new sounds (it's like a thump thump noise)

Back it up immediately, it could be a click of death.

If it is under warranty try and return it.

It is also important to distinguish between the click of death and normal read/write clicks (these are usually a lot softer clicks)

From the video do you think its click of death ? 

because i can hear the little grinding / light buzzing noise like this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QqmWO0Xp_s

and the double thump-thump noise

Hi there @yamazakk123!

 

Can you run a test with WD Data Lifeguard Diagnostics to see if it will detect any errors or bad sectors on the drive? Just backup the data you have on the drive before running an extended test because if the program finds any problems it will try to fix them automatically. You can download it from here:

 


 

Let me know how it went.
