Is this amount of HDD noise normal?

y3llowduk

Never had a drive with clicks THIS loud... crystal disk info shows all is fine. Purchased it 2nd hand, just not sure. It's super loud. It's a Seagate 750GB 7200. There's no regular clicks of death but some horrible grindy kind of clicks when loading stuff...

Loading stuff ? Hard to judge by the video, if it sounds normal when idle then it's just likely normal, just the sound of heads darting around. Either way, this drive are old, and second hand to add, i definitely wouldn't treat it as reliable, don't store any important data on it or backup it.

2nd hand drive eh, sure doesn't sound anything like my oldest HDD... kind of scratching.

Nah that's the thing, bit of clicking when loading stuff on an old drive i'd pass but this is more of a deep grinding (heh)
