i have two hard drive installed in my hp 8300 sff.
one is 40g seagate hdd for main c drive
and second is 250gb wd green hdd.
Sure 250gb wd green was main c and non stop download for torrents n rest for D, and when the PC dead, i was able to transfer to another backup hard drive without any issue using another pc.
Didn used it for 2 years but kept it in the static cover that it came in, so no dust got in.
and now when i got a pc for it, when i installed the hard drive it had ticking, and clicking and didnt recognized in bios or windows. after many try it started to show in windows sometimes, but later when i decide to check in device management, it had another name and after few click and tick , the name changed and i got it working. I first transfer the important files again and had no issue. but ticking and clicking was back when i restarted it, and it vanish from bios, and windows but after a while it came back.
i tested in cmd through chkdsk E: /f /r , hdtune , speed fan seems all fine expect the airflow temp.
will upload them if u can guide me where.
i just transferred all the files again to external file without any issue and the speed was normall as well in 10-25mb.
going to format soon though.
the Temp on my seagate 40gb which is main c drive and i use it for words, streaming tv shows online, and other stuff and hdd temp dont go over 38-41
but the wd 250gb green one is non stop at 41-43 temp. and for over an hour im not even using it and still it is in this range nonstop. and i have kept it outside upside down so that the fan wind can come on it directly.
how to get it down?
As i would like to use it for main C in this pc and keep 40gb as spare one.
