    Seagate 500GB BarraCuda SATA 6Gb/s 128MB Cache 2.5-Inch 7mm Internal Hard Drive (ST500LM030)

    • I was able to install it with ease, no problems whatsoever, but as soon as I booted up my system, I was able to hear a somewhat, drilling or grinding noise coming from the drive, somewhat like a vibrating noise
    • and it doesnt make as much noise as my last hard drive.
    • Lots of grinding noise/clicking noise constantly every so often after i installed windows etc, manage to survive 3 months so far, but with that unusual noise since day one
    • Makes very quiet noises that are almost nothing.
    • Tried reseating, heard weird clicking noises on bootup.
    • I notice the drive making strange noises and now it's locking my computer left and right
    • At first, I used it for my other laptop, which has very loud fan noise,
    • I replaced the bad drive with this and it keeps making clicking and grinding noises
    • works very good, almost zero noise and very easy to install
    • Oddly enough diagnostics repeatedly said the hard drive was fine but drive keeps making constant clicking and grinding noises
    • In my experience, a hard drive that makes loud noises when it runs means that it's not working so well and may die any time
    • copying files from my other hard drive using this as a backup got as slow as 90 kb/s.
