HDD issue on PC (cannot boot, stuck in loop)
At startup it produced some unusual grinding sounds, but after a few seconds they disappeared. I’ll look into the sound now.
I verified it when I first connected it. It had about 28k hours, and the Crystal Disk reported its health was okay—though that’s all I really needed to confirm. I bought it for roughly $20, which is why I should have been more careful.
Absolutely, this drive sounds quite disappointing. It should convey a sense of disappointment or expectation unmet.
It seems you're not worried about sending it back. Just note that it contains photos of you and possibly some documents with details.
The seller doesn’t offer any return options for items sold used. If you’re worried about data exposure, consider erasing the drive instead of returning it.
