Can't figure out which one of my 3 HDDs is generating bad bearing noises !

krim71 · Nov 29, 2016

Hello,
I have three internal HDDs in my desktop case stacked on top of each others (WD Blue 500GB/360GB/1TB in order), one of them started to do occasionally bad bearings noises and screams (I figured this out from my search lately)

I know it comes from the HDDs but I can't figure out which one to backup and replace?

I've done crystaldiskinfo (S.M.A.R.T) diagnose and found out that all hard drives are in caution status (500GB and 360GB both says "Current Pending Sector Count:1 , Uncorrectable Sector Count: 1." while 1TB says "Reallocated Sectors Count: 32" )
It's worthy to mention that it happened once while the noise was occurring, the 1TB hard drive disconnected . but I need to make sure which one to replace so I don't replace the wrong guy and lose data in the actual bad one.

crystaldiskinfo diagnoses as follows:

Hi there krim71,

Sorry that you are facing some issues with your WD drives. I believe that you should really back up the most important data stored on all the drive problematic drives.

Apart from that, it seems that your 1 TB EZEX drive has some bad sectors on it. Is it under warranty? In case it is, you can just back up the data stored on it and RMA it. You can either contact the place you got it from or contact our Support: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=ViyiTh

Your two 320 GB drives have weak sectors, which in some cases, could be software ones. Sometimes, writing zeros on drives with weak sectors could help. Yet, you need to back up the data stored on them before that, as this is a data destructive process. You can write zeros on it with WD's DLG tool: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=JLQ5mP

As for the noise, I believe that the simplest thing you can do is to just remove the drives one by one. That way, you will see which one is making the noise.

Let me know how this goes,

krim71 :

Worst one is (3) WDC WD10EZEX-00ZF5A0 - with 32 (hex 20) relocated sectors. It would be first candidate for replacement. But that doesn't necessary mean anything about noises.

Those 2 - also look shady. You have to keep an eye on them:

(1) WDC WD3200AAJS-22L7A0
(2) WDC WD5000AAKX-004EA0

I'd probably get a new 3TB drive to backup data from all three.

Put the end of a screwdriver on the drive and place your ear against the handle. This will amplify the noise and let you determine which drive is making it.

Thank you all for your answers, I will try what you all said, I can't remember when did I buy the 1TB hard drive but it was a while ago (like more than 2 years) and I can't remember the warranty period.
another thing I noticed is that when I disconnect the EZEX (1TB) hard drive, the computer boots much faster than before, and is generally faster in different kinds of operations.
what I'm also going to do is to check if the 32 bad sectors increase with time, then It's definitly the one.

You can check if the drive is under warranty over here: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=3lQ9XQ

Ok so a friend of mine suggested using a doctor's Otoscope to listen to each of the Hard disks and it worked, the EZEX (1TB) one is the failing one, also.. the reallocated sectors numbers kept increasing (its 67 now) so I'll have to change it.

Thanks to all

Can't figure out which one of my 3 HDDs is generating bad bearing noises !
