I woke up early in the morning to a terrifying noise that upon further inspection was my hard drive which i unplugged and just left it sitting on the floor and proceeded to go back to sleep.

Never heard a drive make a noise quite like that before, at least for a modern one. What drive specifically made that noise? Did you check the smart info? Most likely that noise was coming from the vcm.

smart info reads fine which is kinda strange, when i was taking the hard drive out it felt like the motor was freaking out. Maybe it was because the computer was in sleep mode and the hard drive was receiving low voltage which was enough to attempt to spin the hard drive?

Was it secured in the tray properly 

yes it was been secured in that on spot for years but i think it was a sleep mode issue so ive backed up everything important and running it until it does it again

Wow...never heard that noise before...slow cracking...maybe...but this...is just WOW.

I have no idea what could be the problem.

You can, replace cables...sata and power cables...test drive with Crystal Mark I guess...

I heard that coffee's good for my sex life.

 

It isn't.

It kept me awake through the whole damn thing!

I actually had to participate.
