HDD Making high pitched noise
Last response: in Storage
Very recently there has been a strange high pitched noise coming from my computer. It has also completely frozen up twice since last Sunday (couldn't even get caps lock to turn on). My guess is that it is the HDD since it is coming from that area, though my HDD cage is close to my PSU (which is somewhat new). My HDD is only 4 months old. I have backed up my data just in case it will fail. In the last week I have been messing around with partitioning and formatting drives. I've changed my partition table on it maybe 5 times and formatted it maybe 20. Could this be the cause on such noises/failure?

Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003
I'd RMA it but I'd have to go without a computer basically until Seagate gave me a new HDD. Though I suppose I could install Fedora on my backup HDD and just pop it back in my old PC when it's done. I split my HDDs into two partitions so it shouldn't be an issue. Makes reinstalling a lot easier. I also reinstalled Windows 8 Saturday. Could that affect it at all?
