Does your hard drive beep? Find out why and how to fix.
Many smaller seagate drives seem to have an issue with beeping and not showing up on your computer. These beeping drives generally have an issue with the heads being stuck on the platter. If the hard drive’s motor doesn’t receive enough power to spin, you will hear a beeping sound. The motor should spin the spindle, which in turn spins the platters, but if the motor doesn’t have enough power to spin everything, the sound you hear is the spindle attempting to spin and failing.
