Guys help me out here, please.
I've noticed recently that one of my laptop partitions makes more noise than 2 others. I'm not entirely sure but it's kind of clicking/tocking, mostly when I write to the said partition. Read is quieter.
I have only one drive in this laptop, it's divided in 3 partitions: OS, data I use more frequently (new downloads, install files and such), and data I use less frequently (movies and music, some installers and such.)
The noise occurs on my less frequently used partition. I can hear standard write/read noise immediately followed by a click/tock(not one click just after another though, so I think it's not CoD). After copying files to the partition I can hear a few more write/read-click sequences and it's back to normal without the clicking. Occasionally I can hear a more electronic noise when using said partition. Comparing the noise with failing drives on youtube, my clicks sound quite softer.
Could it be that the less used partition is located further away from the others and head just has to make more moves to read/write on it? The drive is only 2 months old. Also HDTune and CHKDSK showed nothing faulty.
I've noticed that the noise is the same as the one I can hear just after clicking 'update' in HDTune's Health options.
The drive is a 2,5" Seagate Momentus 5400rpm 250GB capacity. I would like to note that the drive is actually quite noisier at all times than the same model which originally came with this laptop, even after it got damaged sectors after 5 years of use it's still working quieter than my current disk. The current drive was actually replaces because the first I bought was also noisy like this one but had some weird problems with very long startup.
