Hi , I just bought a new hard drive 500gb everything is plugged , the first time I turned on my pc , it made a loud countinous noise , the second time I turned it on it was just loud with clicks . There is a 2 pin connector on it , that is free . Did I did something wrong or it's just a dead hard drive ?
 
Solution
Assuming you plugged both the 15 pin power connecter from the psu to the drive, and the 7 pin sata connector to the motherboard (both shaped like Ls) then you have a bad drive.


"He's dead, Jim!"
