Sometimes the usual clicking of the rw head vibrates through the case making it into a buzz. Either way, you got a problem.
If this is a retail external (not put together by you) ur looking for a RMA.
Oh, it doesn't hurt to plug in external power if it came with one.

Yeah it doesnt have any other ports for any other cable. I doubt I can get a RMA since it was given to me for free from my moms friend in the IT department of her work. He gave it to me brand new, it was a really nice drive but oh well honestly. It was free it lasted ehh quite a while for a ex drive. Is there a certain procedure I should follow to dispose of it? Is it recyclable, is there a place I can take it to that will get rid of it properly?
