    @TairikuOkami And the Earth is flat with a glass dome above it, maintained by shapeshifter reptilians to harvest human organs. Haha...
    That's some electric noise coming from a very low quality or simply faulty component. Too many VGA cards and motherboards (usually their VRM coils) make similar noise. :(
    But yes, that's bad anyways. I hated it when one of my old motherboards did it. However, I never noticed it before I built passive water cooling, the fan noise was comparable or higher. (Similarly to that, I started hating HDDs after the PC used water cooling...)
    You clearly have the "old is always good, new is always bad" syndrome. HDDs aren't made for eternity and good quality SSDs (save for the early SATA2 models) can stand 10+ years with generic home use. Both factory faulty SSDs and HDDs could break down on first day (or within months, almost at the same time within a RAID array). You always need backups and there is no guarantee for anything after the warranty period. And you can always buy simply badly designed and poorly manufactured components (from literally everything).

    that sound is coming from the speakers not the SSD i seen external SSD in action they dont make that noise what u feel is a kind of low vibration sound.

    Yeah, those Seagates are nice spinners, I have 5 of them in a RAID-5 array in the home-server. I regret not buying more when some nearby company dumped ~100 with 100-200 hours in them at ~50% of list price. Affordable and sturdy.
    But I think one should compare apples to apples, so better keep the comparison between consumer HDD<>SSD or enterprise<>enterprise... many spinners are just junk (especially the cheaper kinds of 2.5" notebook HDDs), just like some SSDs are equally garbage (from day one).

    But I don't think anyone in their right mind should argue that a fairly powerful desktop PC should have the OS, programs and temp/scratch data trashing the heads like crazy of a spinning plate, making everything ralated to random access or high bandwidth requirements notably slower while generating noise and effectively torturing the HDD. Notebooks are even worse when you move them around while the plate is still spinning and the heads are jumping...

    The only thing holding me back is capacity. I need a lot (virtual machines are resource hogs). Currently I cannot get that vast capacity for an affordable price. That will change, eventually, and they will stop making mechanical drives. Virtually nobody will cry for getting them back, then.

    I have managed to brick 2 ssd's from the early days.

    They had 20 and 40TBW, but never reached the TBW, for the first (20TBW), i got a replacement that had 40TBW and it broke down early too, i didn't bother to go the RMA route and just bought the best of that time, the Samsung 850 Pro (256GB) 300TBW.

    Most here know i have a pile of broken hdd's too :D:D
