Hard Disk failure can occur when a hard disk drive malfunctions, as a result of which the stored data cannot be accessed. Why or when does a hard disk fail? Disk failure can occur anytime – during normal operation or due to external factors like exposure to fire, water, magnetic waves or impact.

Hard Disk Click of Death Anthem
When a computer hard drive fails, it makes a clicking sound! These sounds are known as The Click of Death! SanDisk has made a nice music video from the sounds!
But if you hear such sound coming from your computer, you may not enjoy it so much, then! ![]()
So remember to check up Hard Disk Health natively in Windows 11/10/8/7 regularly.
