Posted December 4, 2021 My HDD's been doing a pretty ''strange'' noise, it doesn't sound like clicking or failure song but it still bothers a bit, i don't know how to describe the sound but it kinda of resembles the sound of someone slightly touching a treadmill, i don't know, i just wondering whether this sound is normal or not. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 4, 2021 Kinda like a whirring noise? Like a turbocharger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, nothing of the sort, it's just like, not a constant sound, it happens frequently, i definitely cannot describe it, maybe when you push or pull your wooden bed and it touches a wooden floor, the scratching noise that makes a hmmm hmmm, but it's very low. sorry for weird description.

Posted December 4, 2021 When it comes to hard drives when in doubt, swap it out. Get the data backed up off it to another drive and relegate it to use in an external enclosure or something not holding important data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 4, 2021 I have an old drive from the late 90's that, because it was made in the late 90's, sounds like a turbocharger spooling when it spins up and a supercharger when it hits full speed.

Posted December 4, 2021 Same problem with a seagate and a Toshiba 3.5" drive... they might be silent, they might start making noises at any time and its *very* loud and also performance immediately tanks when they do this... i was told thats "normal" however none of my 2.5" drives do that, so I just use the 3.5 drives as external backup drives now and will not buy them again, i think its time to move on to ssds for good now anyways as I noticed with some newer games mechanical drives actually can't keep up anymore... *depends on use case obviously, I just game/record/stream .
