So I just got a new WD Blue 1 Terabyte hard drive and installed it, formatted it and all and begun to transfer files and all was well. Suddenly I heard a faint buzzing. I knelt down next to my desktop confirmed it was coming from it. I have an HP pavilion and the front of the case slides down to reveal the audio and mic jacks, and I slid it down (for whatever reason) and when I did it went from a slight noise to a loud spinny-clicky noise. I shut down my system and went into my computer and messed with the tightness of the screws and everything to the new HDD, turned it back on while it was still on it's side and it made no noise. I turned it off, put it back into my desk and plugged everything back in and it did the same noise when it started up. I repeated the process of fiddling with the HDD within the dock, started it up again and it's been fine so far. My friend told me to go into the properties of the drive and go to tools > error checking > check and it scanned and found nothing wrong with the drive internally. This is very bizarre to me and I'm pretty concerned about it. Is my hard drive damaged or was it just mounted wrong?
