Hard drive knocking noise?

Aitchy

It's just one thing after another with me... just my luck. My hard drive keeps making a knocking noise every so often and I am getting a bit concerned. I googled it and most people have said its about to... die. My windows and more important files are on my ssd but just other files and random stuff are on the hard drive making the noise. What should I do? I only bought the god damn thing last week.

@JokerFire Don't worry my important files are on the ssd. The hard drive is just a western digital 1tb. Do not recommend lol.

I actually have three WD Blues in my rig right now.

I had a old hard drive that made knocking sounds, soon after the sound started my hard drive died so you should back up your files.
