HDD starting sounding "gratey" recently. Odd thing is it's doing it when I'm not using the HDD. I run everything off SSD. The only thing on HDD is storage and it is independent of the OS, programme and user files etc. Is there a way to log what is using the HDD and when? The system usually spins down the HDD as evidenced by the spin-up time required when I do need to access them. The noise I'm hearing sounds like the old floppy drives writing something, and happens once maybe twice a minute every five minutes or so.
Is it worth checking the SMART data or whatever that HDD info thing is?
edit: the noise has stopped for the last hour and a half now. weird.
