I want to know if this hard drive I have sounds right. I just got this hard drive for my first PC build and I want to know if it's dead cause the bios can't recognise it, only my usb stick with that has my os I'm going to post a link of a video of me booting up my PC and my hard drive

You can read the description of the video for more info

The hard drive is Western digital blue 1tb 3.5 HDD

I think you might have the click of death
Sounds like the disk head can't read the data and is retrying several times, that drive is dead i would think.

And after trying several time is just turns itself off so it wouldn't get damaged more right? which is why the HDD stops spinning after a minute

Unless it could possibly be a power issue, which i think is very unlikely, that drive is sadly dead

I just bought another one from Seagate and I probably get a refund for my WD one
