If a hard drive makes more noise than it used to, it's a sign that the internal mechanism is slowly failing. But only if it is really making a noise, like if you have a case that cancels most of the noise and you can hear the hard drive quite well, in that kind of a situation the mechanics of the drive is slowly failing and it is then usually advised to change the drive.

As that is something internal with the drive, doing things with the drivers, power and connection won't change anything. Additionally, any test you throw at the drive may show no sign of failure, because that is yet to come.

But why that noise is happen when I changed power supply?
I don't know if was in that moment or after but about then.

Can be something wrong if I have before on motherboard that source with 20 pins and now I connect from power supply and that 4 pins (20+4)?
To separate that 4 pins?

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying, could you clarify?

Which part you don't understand?

My new power supply have 20+4 pins which comes on motherboard.You understand about I say?
Ok so far, my old source have 20 pins, my motherboard have 24.Can be some problem if I connect all pins in the motherboard?
I can receive BSODs from this or from this Hard-disk is noisy?

20+4 is just for reverse compatibility with older motherboards that only support 20 pins connections, it won't cause any problems when you connect everything.

I can do some tests for power supply?
Maybe he use more power energy or what can be?When I changed the power supply the noise on HDD appeared I think.I don't know if before to "fry" so when Windows start (bootup) or when I upload something or download on HDD then will appear that noise but isn't very strong that sound, maybe sometimes.
I want to know if to return power supply, I have this option.Maybe is something incompatible between other components...
To check voltage what I can do?
Something is because shouldn't be that BSODs and noise to HDD.

Is the PSU listed in your specs the one you're currently using?

Yes, that is.

I've never heard of that brand before, doing research it looks like quite a lot don't like the brand because many hardware vendors from China don't provide high quality products.
Honestly, to me it does sound a little like the PSU may be causing some trouble if the hard drive started to make noises after installing the PSU.

I'm guessing it's Seasonic
