Hello.
I bought a Seagate ST2000DM008 2TB drive today.
I hooked it up and cloned all data from my old hard drive. It didn't make any weird noise.
When the cloning process finished, I removed my old hard drive since it is 7 years old.
When the PC first booted with the new drive, there was no sound. However, when reading/writing it makes low pitch clicking noises. This was happening on my old hard drive too, which is also a Seagate, but I never had problems with it for 7 years.
The second time I booted the PC, the hard drive made a beeping-like noise. Not like usual beeping but like a screech, idk how to explain. I haven't dropped it or anything. It's brand new. Works fine as well. Hard Disk Sentinel says it has 100% health.
Should I maybe try to plug in the old hard drive and see the outcome? I also plugged the SATA cable of the new drive where the old drive was plugged in. Should I try other SATA connectors?
Thanks
