SEAGATE BARRACUDA 7200.11 two clicks on startup

November 3rd, 2012, 9:06

Few days ago i bought the SEAGATE BARRACUDA 7200.11 ST31500341AS 1.5TB Firmware CC1H.

I use it for storage,movies,videos,music,programs etc

Everytime i start he pc i hear a sound coming from the hard drive a double click a "click-click"

Two (2) clicks and thats it. I have the hard drive for few days and is working just fine.

I will really like to know,is that normal or the hard drive is dying? Because i am thinking to buy one more the same.

Thank you!

Hi,thanks for replying.
for now i dont have anything for recording use.
Just an extra tip:
The hdd clicks only on computer startup and only during the computer shutdown.
1 click on startup and 1 click when the pc is shutting down.
