New Hard Drive clicks and bangs and fucks around but doesn't always get recognized
A few months ago I got a new drive that was originally meant to replace my internal, but instead I got a USB enclosure and am now using it as an external drive. Recently it's been making clicking and popping noises and randomly I get the 'USB device disconnected' chime. Then I have to jiggle the USB cable at one end for my computer to recognize it again.
I've never in my life had to deal with a faulty hard drive, so I don't know what it's likely to mean if one starts to click like mine is. Most of the time it works, but if I'm transferring data to or from it, the transfer is liable to fail. Anyone know some common reasons for hard drive clickage? Thanks! Jam it back in, in the dark.  |

Ah so this is one of those "SON OF A BITCH" situations that I always hear about. Well if it's really failing, this fucker better function long enough for me to get my data off it.
Thanks a lot for your quick responses, guys. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
