Then last night it is not recognized again and starts making these "squeak squeak clunk, squeak squeak clunk" noises for a few minutes followed by "click click click

The drive is making weird clicking noises

When I came back, the Hard drive was making weird noises and I noticed it was not recognized by my computer

The other nice thing is that it's very quiet, I haven't heard any weird noises or powering up or down sounds like I did on my WD drive

I then ordered a replacement cord and then the drive itself started to make squeaking noises and then fail again

The drive started making clicking noises and completely died within a couple of hours

Makes strange grinding noise.
