Hey. I'm not the best with problems happening to my PC and I've tried searching around the web for if this is a big problem.

 

My Hardrive is making weird sounds. Like the sounds sound like it's the motor in the Hardrive dieing or getting old. but there not that loud but I'm worried about it dieing since it's the only Hardrive I have. 

 

Hardrive I have: Toshiba 2TB 7200RPM If model it needed I shall try and find it.

 

Thanks to anyone who can help!

Download PassMark DiskCheckup and enable TEC. You'll need to run it all the time and it will basically get info from the HDD and after a week or so you should get a more or less precise estimative about when or if it will die. You download and install it, select your drive, go to configuration, enable TEC computation and you keep the program running when the PC is on, keep checking up on it and hitting the refresh button, after a few days of it running under the SMART Info tab and on the Predicted TEC Date you'll be able to see if it will die, if it says N/A everything is good, if not then something might be wrong, the one you should worry the most is the Spin Up-Time. Remember, run it for at least a week.
