How concerning is this noise from my “new” (refurbished) Toshiba HDD?
Just installed a refurbished 16TB internal HDD in an older PC. Never done this before and concerned about this sort of tapping/clicking noise. It is almost constant during read/write. Scared it’s the “click of death”. CrystalDiskInfo scan says it is in good health.
Looks like I can’t embed my video in this post so I will see if I can add it in the comments.
(Also, I bought this HDD from a reputable reseller. So if I am indeed screwed, would I contact Toshiba or GoHardDrive (the reseller)?)
Thanks! I am new to this sort of thing.
