Question Internal hdd beeps randomly

[taha fareed]

The prob causes sometimes. The drive contains only games, when I starts a game hdd beeps and the game freezes, the only thing I use to do is switch the sata connector in mobo to solve the prob. The problem causes randomly. Luckily when hdd doesn't beeps I can play games for more than 4 hours but when the beeps sounds I have to switch the sata connectors but sometimes this strategy works and sometimes not. I had also changed psu but no use.
Secondary Hdd is a Seagate 500gb drive
I've done a S.M.A.R.T test self drive test and it shows hdd is good.
Hdd beep is like this.
Plz help, The hdd is only 1year old.

taha fareed, as mentioned in your video, backups are important. This is what we recommend.

Basically you want:
3 copies of any data you don't want to lose.
2 different mediums it's stored on (so 2 different drives in your computer, for example). 1 copy kept offsite, to prevent against disaster.

Based on the beep and your description, it is probably best to support here. I was going to recommend the same steps you took in TS the situation.

If it sounds like that and you're really sure it comes from the drive make a copy of important data and yes it's probably dying.
