Hard Drive Sounding Loud

[Xenomaniac]

So my hard drive is making a loud whirling sound. When it makes the sound I immediatly turn off the computer and give it a couple seconds and turn it back on. The sound goes away and doesn't come back till I turn off the computer. I'm assuming it's dieing so I'm backing up my stuff before it dies.

What is a good brand to buy these days? BTW I use Sata.

Well, we're probably going to need a few more details than "it sounds weird", can you tell us the make and model of your hard drive, how old it is, and what exactly the hard drive noise is? Like, is it clicking, or making too much of a vibrating noise, what?
