My hard drive is making a loud grumbling/rumbling sound

[ColonelJoe]

I just got this hardrive today, and I noticed when i am installing games, it makes a loud rumbling/grumbling kind of sound. Sometimes it is really intense and then other times it almost goes away.

 

It is this 2tb Seagate one from newegg: https://www.newegg.com/seagate-barracuda-st2000dm008-2tb/p/N82E16822184773

backup now. You are about to loose your drive.

[eeeee1]

run a hard drive troubleshooter to see if there are any problems and see if you can make a backup

[ColonelJoe]

Well its only games so its not really a problem if i lose any data. 

What should I use to check the drive?

When I formatted it earlier today I did the full format which I thought was supposed to make sure the drive was fine.

I can kind of feel the drive vibrating when I touch the outside of the case. Could the drive be not secure and is shaking around when it spins up fast or something?

is it screwed in correctly. either its not screwed in or its just screwed

CrystalDiskInfo is a simple way to read your SMART report.

It can also be done dia PowerShell/Command prompt with:

 

wmic diskdrive get status

and
 

Get-WmiObject -namespace root\wmi –class MSStorageDriver_FailurePredictStatus

There were no screws. It just kind of stuck to the tray like it was magnetic or something. I have a feeling I was maybe supposed to screw it in even though I dont have the screws for it lol.

 

I tried that first command and it said 

Status

OK

OK
