Pfipps Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I am running HD Tune on my Hitatchi hard drive "error scan - not quick mode," and hear intermittent clicks. Is this a problem? I heard the warning sounds from a hitatchi support web page but am not sure if 2-3 faint (audible - louder than the tiny, tiny clicks where you have to put your ear against the computer to faintly hear) clicks every 5-10 minutes is a problem. I am still under warranty, so I could swap the drive if needed - and have like 3 days left to return the whole pc (which is a pain, since it's all setup).

craigathus Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 From Hitachi themselves, noises that indicate a defective drive. Thankfully my hard drive makes none of those noises, are they (those noises) only relevant to a Hitachi hard drive? http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/builds http://www.piriform.com/docs http://www.postimage.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeeCee Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Generally, a clicking noise from the hard drive is never good. Path Copy TeraCopy Unlocker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brand has nothing to do with it. When a hard drive starts making those noises it's vital to make a backup immediately because failure or file corruption could happen at anytime.

Pfipps Posted November 8, 2007 Author Share Posted November 8, 2007 I ended up returning the computer and getting a new one - I didn't want to wait for a HD on a computer I need to use now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
