Question: So, I just got a new hard drive to replace my old one. The new hard drive is a seagate compute 2 TB (ST2000DM008). I hear a weird noise when I play games off the hard drive and I’m wondering if it’s normal or not. I checked S.M.A.R.T and there aren’t any warnings though.
Answer:It’s normal… especially chrome is caching a lot of information about every site on the disk so…. even more normal. If you want the disk not to do that, buy SSD use it for your WIndows and programs, and use the HDD only for storage.
