Is my hard disk telling me he's dying?

Loud_Silence · 11-22-08, 05:07 PM

After buying it, my hard drive made a very distinctive sounds just before shutting down. Now it makes them often, while the PC is running. They are not clicks or "head crash phasers", but something like very faint, short beeps, i dont know how to explain. They're so faint i cant record them because of the noise from the fans.
The disk is a Hitachi Desktar HDS725050KLA360, SATA2, 500GB, 7200 rpm. Fragmentation is "normal" and SMART only reads 2 bad sectors reallocated.
Any ideas of what is happening with the disk?
