[SOLVED] Weird Hard Disk Drive Noises

[Sena Sandika]

Hello. My Hard Disc is making weird noises. It's all started after I installed a fan, and wiggled the cable a little bit.
Any one know what's wrong with it?

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

That is often knock as the click of death. You own a Western Digital HDD, correct? Even if you don't that's the sound of an HDD that's nearly filled to it's brim with data. See if emptying the drive of data helps. Also, if the drive is old, it's high time you got a replacement HDD.

Thank you for your reply! It's a Seagate 320gb with half full storage and yes, it is an old drive. I never formatted the drive before but I'll try to when I got a new SSD. Looks like i need to buy a new drive after all. Once again, thanks for your tips.
