Question: I’ve read that scratch sounds comming from HDD are usually a sign of a dying drive, but this is a new PC (only has about 2 weeks) – it was bought pre-built however.
Is this a faulty drive? How can I make sure? I tried using DiskMark but I think I just don’t understand how it works. My OS is on a sepparate SSD so that should at least be safe.
Or I’m just being paranoid? My last 2 pc’s didn’t even have an HDD and I ran them purely with SSD’s so I’m not used to it’s sound.
This is how it sounds:
Answer:That’s normal HDD noise. Don’t worry.
