Is this hdd dead ?

Go to solution Solved by kelvinhall05,

It's toast.

 

 

On a different note, OP, you are a fucking legend for making a .gif of the problem, instead of, say, uploading a video to YouTube or making us download it. You're awesome for doing that.

 So, i had nothing else to do this morning so i decided id start testing hdds,and i found one that when i put it in a sata to usb station only did a clicking sound and windows didnt seemed to love him neither.

I know u should not open hard drives but i dont really care about this one its old and of small size and it was already on my eletronic junkyard, so i decided to make this experience, but i still clueless of what the problem is, i did a gif so you guys can see and give your opinion.

 

So it spins for a few seconds then it stops, also i'm gonna add a image of disk manager.

And this is what windows detects btw the disk is 160 GB not 2T
