Hey everyone, check out the video I just shared. My HDD is experiencing this issue. It's a Seagate BarraCuda 8 TB model, nothing unusual about it. It's happening even when idle. I returned my first drive a few months ago and replaced it with two new ones in Raid1 for basic home storage. Now both drives are showing this problem after just two weeks. This isn’t about the drives themselves—it could be something else. Maybe the MB, the SATA controller, or even the power source? The bridges seem to be outdated. The ASUS TUF GAMING B650M-PLUS model is still new but can have flaws. CrystalDick reports everything looks normal, no errors, and S.M.A.R.T. is reporting fine. But that sound definitely isn’t right. If anyone has similar experiences, please share them. Video.mp4

I identified the issue with the ASUS GPU Tweak III. It came with my motherboard and was causing problems. Everything worked fine when I powered it on again. If anyone faces similar issues, let me know.
