Hello, i am concerned about my HDD making some weird noises when in use.
The sounds specifically occur when I am using the HDD, or when I go into the D: directory.
When I start up a game that is installed onto my D: disk, it starts to produce a (quiet) grinding noise, but noticable. I am very concerned of this, because the disk (with the PC) isn't that old (3 months).
When I go into the D: directory, (This PC -> I click on the disk) it makes a kind of whining sound.
The weird thing is, I experience no problems with my HDD whatsoever. I can play games perfectly on it, but I am still concerned because it shouldn't really be making this noise right?
I checked the disk for bad sectors with chkdsk. It found no problems.
My question is, is it normal for a (supposedly healthy) hard drive to make a quiet but really noticable grinding noise? Or am I just too worried?
My specs:
CPU: Intel Core i5-7400 3,0 GHz
RAM: 16 GB DDR4
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3 GB
256 GB SSD
1 TB SATA HDD (7200 rpm)
Windows 10
500W PSU
