Posted October 2, 2017 Hey guys, would you please help me in identifying the cause of the noise? I attached the recording. It really bothers me. It is Seagate Barracuda 10TB Pro. It is only three months old. Thank you for your help and input. Martin Hlas 005_sd.m4a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 2, 2017 Sounds almost like your drive is dying, perhaps someone else can confirm/correct me. If it is dying, I'd recommend backing it up ASAP. One of my friends had a drive die on him halfway through his backup Quote or tag me( @Crunchy Dragon) if you want me to see your reply If a post solved your problem/answered your question, please consider marking it as "solved" Community Standards // Join Floatplane!

This certain type of repeating noise occurs when the after effects or Photoshop project is open. Besides that it is not that noisy, but still more than should be acceptable for a new HDD. As soon I shut down the app, it stops. Thanks once again. Will definitely store the main data on ssd just for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The repetitive sound, I mean. Guess the quiet buzzing is ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted October 2, 2017 Sounds like the actuator is doing some major moving, but still shouldn't make that much noise in repetitive fashion. You could do various checks, but I'd recommend calling for an RMA to return it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And do you have any explanation on how it is even possible considering that the after effects in not installed on the hard drive? I got it installed on my ssd.

Posted October 2, 2017 I've worked with a lot of hard drives over the past decades, that's a very bad sound. Back up now. NOTE: I no longer frequent this site.

Gonna copy all the essential data to my ssd. Do you know how it is possible that the sound occurs even though my after affects app is installed on the ssd drive?

Posted October 2, 2017 much luck. Seagate used to be a great company. Sold thousands of Seagates, only ever had 1 fail under their 5 year warranty. But that was years ago and I understand they are a pale shadow of their former self. NOTE: I no longer frequent this site. If you really need help, PM/DM me and my e.mail will alert me.

Posted October 3, 2017 That is definitely a concerning sound, sorry to hear you're having trouble here. You will want to be careful even so much as powering a HDD on when it is making any sort of clicking sounds, as doing anything with it can increase the chance of losing important data on the drive. The BarraCuda Pro drive does come with 2 free years of Rescue Services, so you may want to look into any potential coverage you may have available there. If needed, here is where you can check on any potential warranty information using our Warranty Validation tool. You can also get in touch directly with Seagate Support here.
