Hello and thanks to anyone who will bother to read.

I have this 1TB Seagate Barracuda that makes strange noises at boot, but after a couple of minutes it does the loading sound "vvvv" and becomes readable via usb.
It used to be readable straightaway.

Here is a video that shows what happens, by some coincidence it does the loading sound "vvvv" and becomes readable via usb exactly when i place my hand on it, minute 1;05

I'm wondering if it needs defragging with Auslogics Disk Defragger or anything similar.
