Shooooooot. Any experience with WD if they'll RMA a drive with the click of death? It should still be under warranty. Odd that the noise only happens with short reads/writes. When I ran the test it was loud to start but fine after a few minutes... :/

Here it is, there's a bit of fan noise but I think it's pretty obvious which noise is the hard drive. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BwDmP0RZa32pSjV1SjRZVFI2V3M

Thanks, running an extended test on my 5TB black right now. When the test started there was quite a bit of noise but it was quiet after a few moments. Is that normal?

Hi everyone, hope all is well. Lately when I've been on the computer I've found a strange noise to be coming from my hard drives, not sure which one at the moment. I have a WD red 2TB, and two WD blacks; 1TB and 5TB. I was wondering if perhaps the noise may be from the hard drive spinning up...

Tried that, can't be sure it even reset; pressing reset didn't yield any noticeable action by the monitor. Everything is up to date. I got a new clue today (reason why I'm bumping the thread): when the monitor won't 'resume' I also can't access the menu on the monitor itself. I have no idea...

In Ontario, but thanks for sharing. Should have clarified, the rig is already built and running.

Hi guys, I recently won a prize of ~$600 and figured I'd treat myself to some new computer accessories. I was thinking along the lines of a new monitor, a new keyboard, and maybe a UPS. I'm not set on getting all three but those are what I'm considering. Here's what I'm working with now: Case...

Thanks, I found that "Wake by LAN" was enabled and disabled it. Also found this to be on for some reason and disabled it, thanks. Hopefully that fixes whatever was causing it to turn on.

Seriously, I was in bed 30 seconds ago after having turned my computer off about 10 minutes before and twice now it's randomly turned on by itself. I have no idea what's causing this, it seems to happen randomly. Sometimes it also refuses to go into sleep mode. The weird thing is that it's...

Thanks for you help, that worked! For anyone who finds this in the future, I used option 3 and followed step 6.

I changed the settings in msconfig (see link below) because stupid me thought that the F8 key wasn't working, and thus there wasn't a way to boot into safe mode. I checked safe boot and boot log, now when trying to start windows I get a BSOD about some snapfish.sys stop error although all i...

Whenever I turn off my monitor walk away and turn it back on, it won't display the video output from my computer. This happens with two separate computers (with different GPUs) as well as in different scenarios. Sometimes if i simply leave it on and walk away long enough that it goes into...

Literally just happened. I was browsing the internet and my computer gave me a BSOD. The strange thing about it was that it had lines of colours horizontally across the screen for a split second, then the screen went black, and then the BSOD appeared and said it was dumping stuff or whatever it...

Hi all, I've been thinking about picking up an external enclosure and popping a 4TB WD Red into it. I'm concerned that my computer (built 2007, see signature) would have problems recognizing the entire size of the drive. This is despite the enclosure I'm looking at saying it supports 4TB or...

Finally, some good news! I managed to gain access to the drive by using HDAT2. (http://www.hdat2.com/) I followed the instructions from http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=6806.msg66465#msg66465 copied below for future reference. After doing that I've booted back into Windows on...

Not wanting to screw anything up using the boot CD, i ran the utilities on windows and the drive passed the quick test. edit: I've continued the SuperScan with Active@ Partition Recovery in the meantime, luckily because I can save my progress on my SSD. So far it's only showing good sectors and...

Okay, so I went ahead and burned the CD. I don't see the WD utility, I'm guessing I was suppose to add it or something? Not exactly sure. Edit: I did see the Seagate Utility however..

Actually, the funny thing is, the other drive pictured that got hit indirectly was my other 1TB drive, the 2TB drive wasn't hit by the fire at all that I can tell. I'm not sure if the drive that got hit (500GB) is still under warranty, it might be.

Yup, and i only ever formatted it into one 2TB NTFS partition. I think it's the MBR gone haywire, because the first partition that's 1TB starts almost at the beginning of the drive and goes until the end. I'm suspecting that partition is the old 'real' partition.

Haven't done anything to the BIOS. I did boot into it to see the drive and it only recognized it as 1000GB instead of 2000GB. I haven't made any changes to the BIOS that I can remember. I'm running Active@ Partition Recovery now and doing a SuperScan. I haven't any idea why it's finding so...
