Question Hard Drive vibrates a lot.

[theheadshotdude]

So, I have a Toshiba DT01ACA100 Hard drive. And one thing that I've noticed is how my case is really starting to vibrate quite a lot. I checked every other component I have and the narrowed it down to the HDD. So, how come a single HDD gives off more vibration than the entire rest of the case and components? With my HDD plugged in, I can feel the vibrations throughout my entire desk. And the case is really vibrating. Another thing I've noticed is that it is LOUD. like really loud. I can hear it despite all the other fans and stuff I have, it also makes a loud noise every time it starts spinning. Are these signs of a dying HDD or just a bad and cheap one? I don't really have any other HDDs to cross reference with.

How many years do you have this HDD? And how much are you using your HDD? for example do you read/write lots of stuff in your HDD?

FYI, that model is a rebadged Hitachi drive.

Could we see the SMART report? You could use CrystalDiskInfo for this.
