HDD sound on laptop
dear sevenforums user....
im using a low-end laptop now... im also using a headset, the laptop is 1 year old... the past 5-6 months whenever im using headset, or it's late at night / pin drop silence, i can kinda hear a clicking sound from my laptop hdd
it's very quiet clicking sound though, i mean. in the afternoon it's not noticeable at all, i just recently realized this issue was also because i couldn't hear it before. I can hear it only when i put my head exactly on the right side of the touchpad (where the hdd is) and at night...
also..,, it doesn't stop at all, regardless of whether i access files, software, browse, watching video, or not doing anything, it still clicking (quietly)
im not that good with IT but i had a coupld external hdd dying on me before so im a little familiar with the loud clicking noise of head parking and bad bearing...
but how about this quiet clicking soun... is that a normal read / write process on a seagate hdd laptop... or.. should i worry abt it...?
please tell me if you guys need the recording of the sound to know... i'll try to record it (but i dont know how you guys have to tell me how to do so)
best regards,
