  1. Is Your Hard Drive Clicking? Here Is a Guide to This Common Issue A very common hardware issue is hard drive clicking or when the hard drive makes a clicking sound when connected or installed. Clicking noises are a common sign of severe hard drive damage. They occur when the hard drive's rear head is unable to return to its designated position. As the disc controller tries to shift the head, it can become trapped causing it to be scratched violently. In most cases, a scratched disc means permanent data loss.

  2. If you witness clicking or strange noises when you plug your hard drive here are a few things you shouldn’t do in order for preventing any further damage. ●Do Not Apply Physical Pressure Should go without mentioning, but keep in mind that you never hit or apply any form of physical force on your hard drive, No matter how enraged you are. If you believe the hard drive is clicking because you dropped it or it was subjected to some kind of shock, repeating the procedure will not help but will just ruin the chances of data recovery. ●Do Not Move it While it is Operating A hard drive can be moved from one place to another. Just check if the hard drive is not in use. Hard drives are very fragile and vulnerable to shocks and vibrations and become even more so when they are in use. If you need to reposition the hard drive, make sure it is turned off first. Most importantly, move it with extreme caution if you really need to. ●Do Not Take the Cover Off You should never remove the hard drive's cover. The cover can only be removed by trained data recovery professionals. Operating in a certified sterile environment is a costly process that necessitates the use of specialized equipment and expertise. In an unfiltered air setting, removing the cover contaminates the hard drive, making data recovery exceedingly difficult. Therefore if you are considering Mac data recovery Los Angeles for those weird sounds then make sure you avoid these steps so as to not incur any further damages.
