Hi
I've got 2tb Deskstar that I think is beginning to fail, was using it fine the other night (I'm using it with a 64gb M4 as a cache drive using ISRT). The following day computer wouldnt boot, got to windows logo and then BSOD, couldnt get in safe mode or anything, long story cut short, after disabling raid etc I managed to get in after booting from another drive and it detected errors on boot for D: which was originally the c: ran the scans and it then let me in, rebuilt the raid and re enabled irst and its now working again
But it occasionally has a loud clicking noise followed by a beep which is coming from the hdd (i've never heard a beeper etc in a hdd?) followed by a few moments pause, so am just wondering if it sounds like its on its way out and if theres any tools I can try to test the drive, can't seem to find much for the drive on hitachi's site....
