    The hard drive is LOUD!

    I picked up an 80Gb Seagate drive today from the landfill and when I got it home I found out it does work but reading, writing and seeking gives off squeaking noises that remind me of the good old MFM drives with stepper motors. So far a surface scan has found no problems and it seems pretty stable but should it be that loud?
    The motor on the other hand is silent.

      Loudness is model dependant: my external drive (a Seagate ST3250823A inside) is quite loud; head movements are noisy.

              **Need Help Unlocking BIOS and Hard Drive on Dell Precision 5820 Tower**
              by federalhouse
              Hi everyone,

              I'm in need of assistance with a Dell Precision 5820 Tower. The BIOS is locked with "Dell Security Manager," preventing access to the HDD-1 hard drive.


              **Background:**

              I recently purchased this Dell Precision 5820 Tower from a recycler who salvages equipment from abandoned office spaces. The computer was left behind by its previous owner and was password locked. Given that it can run Windows 11, I saw this as an opportunity to upgrade my setup.


              **What I've Tried So Far:**


              1. I accessed              ...

              Repairing a Seagate hard drive with damaged logic board
              by karto95
              Hello everyone,

              I'm currently facing an issue with my Seagate hard drive that has a damaged logic board. I've obtained a replacement logic board from a donor hard drive, but unfortunately, I'm unable to recover the BIOS of the original board due to damaged firmware. I'm wondering if it's possible to make the hard drive work with this donor logic board.

              I have a CH341A programmer, so I'm hoping that it can be useful in this situation. I've attached the BIOS file .bin of the donor board for reference.

              If anyone has any suggestions or experience with this...

              PC case - Hard drive rails
              by tmcw
              A friend gave me his old PC case (with MB, and PSU), but no hard drive rails, he said he only used the 2.5" SSD spot inside, and used an external hard drive for data. He said that he'd have a look for the supplied rails, but I doubt he'll find them.

              So I was wondering if case manufacturers used any type of standard 3.5" hard drive rail?

              I'm used to the various Dell hard drive caddies or rails (and HP and Lenovo to a lesser extent), or el cheapo cases where you screw through the frame to fix the drive.

              Now, the case is a CiT Gaming Case, and...
