Hi,
I bought a new Seagate barracuda 2TB HDD. When i installed it, it worked fine, but it makes a loud repeating loading/working noise, even when idle and with nothing on the disk.
It is my only HDD. There are 2 SSDs installed
It is difficult to explain the noise, but it is not a clicking or grinding.
Link to a soundclip of the noise on my Google Drive: Soundclip
What i've tried:
At first I thought the disk was faulty, but it happens with the new one i bought as well, which is the one i currently have installed (also a seagate barracuda).
I tried buying a new SATA cable, and trying different SATA ports on the motherboard.
Using a new HDD/SATA power cable for my PSU. There are no other disks attached to this.
I ran some checks of the drive, using Seagates own tool, but it didn't come up with anything.
Any idea what is causing this?
SPECS:
Seagate barracuda 2 TB ST2000DM008 HDD
MPG Z390 GAMING PRO CARBON (MS-7B17) motherboard
Cooler master G750 PSU
Thanks for your help.
