Pteroduck Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 So i bought a new laptop hard drive (WD black scorpio 7200rpm) and put it into my laptop, its making this weird whirring noise kinda like coil whine any ideas on what it is and how to fix it? i was thinking it mightve been how i put my hard drive in but i doubt it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pteroduck Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 oh and when i tried to install windows 7 on it, it wont appear on the screen and diskpart doesnt see it either Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpikeSoprano Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 That is not a good sound for a hd to make, even if it runs fine I would return it as it will not last long and could die without warning. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

d6bmg Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Might be a bad piece of drive. I would suggest you to return it to the store and get a new one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pteroduck Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 alright i guess i'll return it.any ideas on a reliable drive thats fast and quiet?i read about the traveler 7k series and the other scorpio blacks I'm not quite leaning towards Seagate Barracudas because i know they go faulty after a year and WD has a 5 yr warranty for their black series Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpikeSoprano Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 wd black are great drives, you probably just had bad luck with this one, return it for another and you'll most likely get a good drive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

d6bmg Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 i read about the traveler 7k series and the other scorpio blacks Scorpio black is one of the great drive from WD. Although it costs more, but it is worth every penny. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
