Low-Level IO is no different from Safe Mode with respect to the temp sensor and clicking noise.Īlternatively, I found via trial an error that disabling S.M.A.R.T on the drive (leaving the Drive scan in safe mode) stops the noise from occuring, but still prevents access to the HDD temp sensor on ALL my drives. Below are screencaps with HWinfo set to Safe Mode (left) and Drive Scan Disabled (right). While this stops the noise, I no longer have access to the temperature sensor within the drives for my Modern Gadgets plugin. Going further into the settings, I realized that I could still get HWinfo to run and not poll the drives constantly by going into Settings -> Safety -> IDE/(S)ATA drive scan and chaing the radio button to "Disable Drive Scan". So a bit more detail, I have 4 spinning HDDs in my system:īy removing the SATA power cables one by one, I pinned down the issue to only be occuring with only my 2x 1TB seagate drives from the list above, not the other two. This was driving me insane as I couldn't find the source of it for WEEKS of googling until I came across this LTT forum post that helped me ID the issue as originating from HWinfo (they cite AIDA64 in the thread, but both must be doing the same thing under the hood).
Recently, I've noticed that two of my Spinning HDDs are making a clicking noise that sounds like the drive head parking every ~3 seconds, like some kind of digital heartbeat inside my PC.
Hello, I have Hwinfo constantly running in the background on my PC as it feeds the data for needed for my modern gadgets rainmeter skin which I love having in view at all times.
