[SOLVED] HDD making weird noise

[nsbadlion]

Hey everyone, after playing GTA 5 on my HDD I noticed it started making loud noises, it's not only when gaming, but it makes those noises when I do any action with a certain file or anything on it. I use SSD as my primary OS drive, and this issue hasn't occurred before I changed my entire hardware.

I think you'll need to increase the volume so you can hear it well

I hear a kind of huming?

Could be vibration from a slightly loose install, could be the actual drive, could be just resonance with the case....

But...
What is your fallback position in case it DOES die?

If we out here say "Oh, its just fine, all drives make noise..", And then it dies anyway...what will you do?

Storage devices can die at any time.
Mechanical drives making NEW noises is never a good thing.

Thank you for your answer. I already backed up all of my files to Google Drive and now I hope for the best
