Hey guys, I have a noise (very quiet and muted) coming from my hdd when it gets accessed. I need to know if I should be worried. I can only hear it if the case is open but I have over 700 gb of stuff on it that I cant lose. Should I be concerned
You shouldn't be worried; it is probably just the read write head moving when it goes to read data. That being said I would advise that if you believ your drive may be failing you should dowload and run crystal disk info. This should give you a rough idea of how healthy your drive is and whether or not you should truly be worried.

alright cool, thanks. Im not too worried about it dying because its not even a year old I just worry about my computer too much QQ
I know the feels, man
