If you listen carefully, you’ll hear that hard drives do make a lot of sounds. Some are completely normal. But you never want to hear your hard drive making grinding noises.

Grinding sounds occur when damaged drive heads have rubbed against the hard drive disk platters too long. The platters have already become damaged and you are facing the loss of your important data. Your hard drive has failed! 

Don’t panic. While grinding sounds from a hard drive mean the drive has failed, a professional data recovery service can help. It’s likely that your hard drive will require both a logical and physical data recovery.
