It might be time to replace that and get a fully modular instead of this non modular ketchup and mustard bs I have the power for the HDDs running from to PSU to one HDD and then on to the next one on the same cable. I switched them and it stopped giving me issues. I even switched back and there was nothing even after a whole bunch of restarts and stresstests in order to narrow down and find out the issue. I don't use my HDDs for other than just storing things and the one that was making sounds hasn't been used a lot so i was confused about it being broken already because it really isn't old and i don't give it a lot of physical abuse either but it makes much more sense that my 7 year old already shit from the beginning-PSU needs replacing. And maybe i can live with it as it is for now but i'll replace it anyway because pretty much anyone who has ever tried cablemanagement with a non modular PSU in a system with a few disks and controllers for fans and such know that the term management is used very loosely. I'm glad that my case doesnt have a rear glass panel because i really wouldn't want to show that side off

Well thats good to know. I have thought of replacing it lately but that was mostly to get a modular powersupply. I didn't really want to replace it being that it was still working. I have to ask though is there a chance my HDDs aren't getting enough power or that the PSU in some way is managing to damage/excessively wear my drives? It's interesting because i have an old Samsung SSD and Crystal says 69 on the Wear Leveling Count and that thing was in here when i first got this system as with the PSU. I know that SSDs work differently to HDDs but while the HDD giving me trouble is only a few years old (3-4 years max~.) the SSD is way older with 105TB in the Total Host Writes section (It's a 75TBW SSD.) and it also has 3 times as many hours on it as the HDD (Coming up to 15000 hours.).

What the old one used to do was move files at a normal speed and then randomly cut out and once it came back it would open up it's folder same as plugging in a USB stick. What this one does when moving files is starting at 8 MB/s or so and after a sec or two it stops completely though it doesn't say it failed. Then after 2 or 3 more seconds it starts going again at the same speed rinse and repeat. Full system specs would be: I5-8400 MSI Z370 Gaming M5 (Overkill for the cpu i know) MSI GTX 1060 Gaming X 6GB Some sort of Corsair Vengeance 2133mhz RAM. 2x8GB of those The PSU is called Inter-Tech Energon EPS-750W and i don't actually know much about the quality of it being that it was in the PC when i bought it. I had my pc custom configured and made for me when i bought it 7-ish years ago and i have since done some upgrades but i never touched the PSU. The other HDD i changed a few days ago came with the pc originally too and the one making problems now didn't so thats why this confuses me. I took some screenshots of Crystal disk. One from an all new HDD and then one from the one giving me trouble now and tbh i don't see much difference.

So heres a sound i haven't heard before today. My 4tb Seagate HDD (ST4000DM004 if it matters.) is making this sound around the time i get to my desktop on startup and it squeaks like this a few times and shortly after it is back to normal. Additionally my pc starts up with the E: (Which is what this drive is) folder open and then it closes after a while by itself. To me it is strange because i replaced my D drive just days ago because that was doing the folder thing too.Keep in mind the D drive was significantly older than this drive (4-5 years older.). It also chirps if i manually access the E: folder and at that point it closes and opens the folder by itself a few times (as if it is connecting and disconnecting the drive.) and moving files too gives me issues because it every few seconds just stops (0 Kb/s.) and then goes for another few seconds rinse an repeat all while squeaking occasionally. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zxHKMw76EY&feature=emb_logo
