HP 15 ab 522: loud noise of HARD drive

My laptop (HP 15 ab 522) HARD drive makes squealing noise whenever the HARD drive light flashes white. The noise becomes quite noticeable and persistent when the system boots, the HARD drive light turns to solid white color. HARD drive runs smoothly when there is no indication of the LED on the HARD drive. I understand that whenever the HARD drive is accessible, he makes noise due to the movement of the read/write head but the noise is louder at compared other hard drives in other laptops. Its a Hitachi (HGST HTS541010A9E680) HARD drive as far as I can make out. I ran also ran a large HDD, all successful tests test.

Help, please. Thank you.

  • Satellite C670-11 q clicking loud noise the HARD drive

    Hello!

    I helped my neighbor to find a new laptop and the entire installation and start-up.

    We ordered a C670-11 q and it works very well, theres just a nuisance.
    The drive made strong rattling noises, not as a dying or working drive. It's the same sound when you turn a disc, just a lot stronger. I guess that's the "arm of disc" that goes into its safe position.

    I don't know if this laptop has a shock sensor to do this? The laptop was flat on the table, and there where NO vibrations while she does. There are no clicks under load, but they occur randomly when walking to the idle or surf/write normal.

    I checked also save energy options and disabled to turn the disk, without help.
    Also, this seemed odd, because the clicks occur often several times in a row. But there is no doubt it more when running on the battery.

    I am running the BIOS and latest drivers in the area of support (as of yesterday).
    The disk is configured in performance mode, I'm testing battery economy - should I?

    And no, the drive took a beating. I was the first person to turn it on.

    The drive is Hitachi, I don't run their analysis - no error.

    Any help is greatly appreciated: o)

    One of my computer portable HARD drive makes such noise too.

    I m not exactly why, but I also think that it is at the head of discs moving record position.

    However, I think that this is not really a malfunction since the laptop works pretty well and I didn't notice any problems with the HARD drive or files but I have created a backup of my files, just to be sure that you know
    I think you should save the date just to be sure

  • Satellite L855-15U - soft noisecoming HARD drive internal

    Hello world

    I recently got a Toshiba Satellite L855-15U and I hear its current soft grinding from the HARD drive in the laptop.

    There is also a casual click and few sound type soft rattle. Looks sounds mechanical usual a HARD drive, but a sound, it would be expected only to be heard on computers 10 years ago.

    There seems to be no noise reduction or elimination of the sound. Is - this standard with Toshiba and Hitachi?
    My old notebooks were almost dead silent, that's why I'm worried.

    It's an irritation more of a problem with the feature. The computer records any errors as well so that there is no obvious fault with the laptop as diagnosis is concerned.

    I'd like some advice or suggestions on what all this means, before making any decision to return to the store with her.

    Thank you.

    > There is also a casual click and few sound type soft rattle. Looks sounds mechanical usual a HARD drive, but a sound, it would be expected only to be heard on computers 10 years ago

    I know that noise of HARD drive.
    I had a few external HDD 2.5 in the past and some of them created exactly the same noise.

    All hard drives worked properly, but sometimes this noise was noticeable especially during the reading or writing data.

    I guess that this noise is created by head of HARD drive.
    From my experience this isn't a HARD drive malfunction but sometimes it s all just annoying.

  • Qosmio E10 is slow and HARD drive makes noise constantly

    Hi people

    What is the best thing to do?

    I'm thinking of replacin the hard drive.

  • Portege R700 - very loud noise of frying

    I have a Portege R700 from November 2010. Since I got the computer, the left speaker has sometimes been a very strong, a little scary noise when it is not cut.
    It carries out this time when he plays music (or other sounds), and when it is not supposed to do something. It also makes the sound when the computer starts.

    It is becoming more and more common, and now I can't use the computer when the speakers are on at all. Someone told me that it could be linked to the hard drive?
    Any suggestions?

    Thank you!

    It is certainly hardware related issue but I know if someone here can say with certainty why this happen.

    Your laptop is not old and has a valid warranty. Best thing you can do is to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider. Explain the situation and they can check it. If something needs to be exchanged this them will be given for free.

  • Equium - hard drive makes clicking noises

    Hello, can someone please help?

    I think my laptop is in trouble, the hard disk (or I think it's the hard drive) is do a lot of clicking noises and my battery life is running down when the adapter is connected. It seems that run down when the drive made those rattling. When the power mode is energy-saving sometimes stops clicking and the battery life fills up again, but recently its been doing even in power saving mode.

    I'm moving all my files on an external hard drive, even though I have a lot of stuff on my lap top. I can't afford a new laptop

    Thank you

    Hey Buddy,

    How to help you without knowing your model mobile exact?

    Generally if the HARD drive makes clicking noises it s time to replace. Backup to an external drive has been a very good idea.

    And how you can lose the life of the battery if the AC adapter is plugged? I put t understand it.

  • Equium A100-147 - clicking noise from the HARD drive

    For awhile, I had clicking noise from the HARD drive and when the laptop could not, I assumed the reader was packed but trying a replacement nothing happens. I get a blue light for battery and a blue light (low) for the supply of direct current, but nothing for power or disc. However, when I plugged in an external drive yesterday it starts fine and when I unplugged the laptop continued to work the internal drive. But even once this morning he died and will not start. I read that the BIOS can stop recognizing the drive or maybe that the settings are not being saved when it is off. Could it be the motherboard battery?

    > reading the BIOS can stop recognizing the drive or maybe that the settings are not being saved when it is off

    Enter the Bios (press f2 at startup) and check if it recognizes the hard disk. You can see on the home page or the boot option in the Bios.

  • Tecra A2: HARD drive makes noises funny laptop crash

    Today, I turned on my laptop, got into windows, started working when my laptop makes a funny sound, like a noise a little whoosh, n thn froze my pc! I rebooted, but is the same this time on the log of windows on the screen, I kept restarting trying to operate... until he has not start n now it sits right on the toshiba screen before starting.

    The HD LED lights up and I'm stuck in the menu. I opened my laptop n watched the hardrive (tho not touched cos I didn't break!) n its not loose or anything... but now I can not get it started, I tried the recovery cd which I can sometimes get into tho it doesn't seem to work!

    Please can soemone tell me how to solve this problem, preferabley without send it to Toshiba.

    Hi Paul,.

    It seems that if your hard drive has failed. Check in your BIOS during the initial POST to see if the drive is correctly recognized.

    You can try to restore the hard disk from the recovery CD (just boot from the recovery CD and follow the prompts on the screen) but this will erase all your personal data and programs that you can have installed and restore your laptop to its State.

    If you still have problems then I think you need to replace the hard drive and reinstall your system.

    Kind regards
