backup all personal files! I thinks your hd is about to take a permanent vacation(it's about to die).

HOW THE f*** is my hdd about to ****ing die! i got it a month ago!

the noise isn't too loud, barely audible. it only comes on when the hdd light is flashing. I mean, maybe grind is too strong a word to use to discribe it. it kinda just sounds like a regular hdd spinning, can someone confirm this point?

Could be the head of the hard drive. It always seems to come with time, as the drive wears in. For me anyway...

nvm problem fixed, it turned out that it was just a regular hdd clicking/grinding noise.
