Posted December 16, 2017 One day I noticed that my hard drives where making a high pitched noise, and when i turned my PC on it sounded like a whine. I think my hard drives may be dying and i want to know if I should replace them 2017_12_16_13_12_21[1].mp3 2017_12_16_13_13_51[1].mp3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have never had a drive make a high pitch whine. If it is a constant noise then I would say its fine, just a bit annoying. But if it is irregular then It might be a sign of a dying drive. it also makes a scratching sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
