![]() ![]() A friend who bought the same model of expansion drive also met the same end, so if 1 is an exception 2 is coincidence then I would say 3 suggest a pattern. So far i havent seen any threads or discussion directly attributing the specific clicks to an eventual failure, though this is not to say "its safe to assume tht clicks are normal on a Seagate Barracuda" as i do have quite a few terrible experience with Seagate storage devices not internal drives specifically but external hdd where i have to return the same Seagate Expansion Portable drive TWICE (over the course of 2 years) in a row where its partition just failed out of no where after a year of being used (no drops or heavy impact). And on all the threads where this topic has been brought up, many have been suggested and therefor resorted to RMA the drive. Like many others upon looking up hard disk drive clicks or noise i get bombarded with a bunch of HDD failing click of death threads and vids. This however doesnt change the fact that my drive has been thrown over a fence hitting concrete ground and would likely fail in the future.īut for others finding this thread in the future, it would appear that by default Seagate Barracuda 2TB (ST2000DM008) tends to make such a clicking noise and apparently it is not the first time this have incite fear on its user. Youtube videos and links on the same noise Thread on reddit similar situation after RMA still the same noise Other people on tomshardware regarding RMA and finding the same noise all over again. Similar problem posted on LTT forum in 2020 As for my initial video recording where the drive clicks repeatedly upon launching Adobe After Effects, I actually went to Adobe forum and found ppl with similar problems (using the same drive~) unfortunately those threads date back to 2017 and replies from over 2 years back i tried replying to the thread a few days before but did not get any response as to whether their drives failed eventually. ![]() All coming back to the same exact noise (links to various threads and forums and youtube video below). Many have observed similar noise even with their new RMA drives. Over the pass week, i have gotten my hands on 2 other seagate barracuda drive (that have been operating for more than 2 years), a 1TB model and another 2TB model and guess what both of them were making the same clicks and the behaviour whenever i launch adobe After effects were identical, ~repeated clicks. I came across a couple more links and videos online suggesting that this is not the traditional click of death and instead it is wat seagate's barracuda (especially the 2TB model ST2000DM008) and some other drives from seagate inherently does. If you decide to return it, make sure you mention what the delivery guy did to deliver it and see if you can use a different shipper, the same guy will probrably do the same thing all over again since your residence is probrably within their area to work.įollowing up on the situation. If the disc is working a check with crystal disk will tell you what you need to know. In that case it's doing what some call "Hunting" and not finding anything, so it just repeats the search pattern until you shut the machine off. These drives do not take well to getting banged around, if it's truly bad I'd have to say the arm got bent from the shock of it landing when it got tossed over the fence just enough it can't "Find" what it's looking for on the internal discs. ![]() Typically if it's the drive going bad you'll also notice the clicking you hear has a pattern that repeats over and over again, then it stops - Then starts up again in the same pattern. Check status with crystaldiskinfo or such, but yeah it sounds bad and you'll likely want to return it.Īgreed - Although it's normal to occasionally hear a bit of clicking with an older style HDD, it's when it's doing it constantly you'll want to be concerned. ![]()
