Hello,
I've recently upgraded to a new DIY computer based around an ASUS Z270-A motherboard. I plan on keeping my 1tb data hard drive (Samsung HD103SJ) while having a new SSD for Windows, programs, etc.
The 1tb drive continues to work in my old computer (a 9-year-old computer with an NVidia/Core2Quad mobo). But plugging it into my new computer - which is using the same power supply as the old one - causes the drive to spin up and then start clicking at regular intervals.
The new computer works fine otherwise. I didn't plug in this drive at first, and I've been able to load W10 and a few programs without issue.
I tried orient the drive vertically and horizontally: no difference.
What could cause this? What can I do to remedy this? How bad is the clicking sound if the drive works?
Thanks for your help!
