Humming laptop?

I wish you a wonderful day!

I bought a laptop called NP870z5g-x01de (about 4 years ago). Now I started to study and "drag" my laptop always nice from A to B. Before that was always only in my nursery on the desk (with a few exceptions).
My hard drive is apparently buzzing louder than usual and now I may justifiably worry about my data. No SSD, but an old HardDisk (whatever you call the parts - HDD or something?). I'm writing this question straight from my PC and wanted to ask you if it can be that my hard drive has some kind of imbalance and will soon be scraping itself? Should I put my laptop aside and just build a SSD? Is it normal that sometime from time X the hard disk starts to hum louder than usual?

I look forward to your expert information. ^^

It greets the marmot lol rofl

A magnetic hard disk can't have any imbalance due to its design. What causes the noise is probably the fan in the laptop mostly due to dust deposits. You should clean it.

It is always advisable to regularly make a backup of sensitive data

Just check your record with Crystaldiskinfo

That could also be a heavily soiled fan. That hard drives with the time louder I have not experienced. For very old ones from the 90s, it may be because they still had ball bearings. Today, however, they have sliding bearings that do not generate any noise and are very very durable.

Was with my old Lappi sometimes and was only dust / dirt! Therefore, give the pattern right!

I got the tip to keep the vacuum cleaners on the air vents I did not dare, so I prefer to a dealer! : :-)

In fact, it was the fan, not the hard drive. Had let me lead astray.

Have just taken the hair dryer and just blown through my Loptop. Now he purrs again like a kitten.

I'm glad that you were helped!

When I think of my 1st Lapi (something like: https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSBn0kp0OwS3eu0LanynEAUut8QRrDFhN7D1NR3_QcS1S2EQwE7), he had some noise on it. Thought first is broken, but that was normal. My computer I had was much quieter! The Amiga 1200 was it: https://vintagecpu.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/a1200.jpg! Everything was in the part, so no tower just a mouse and could be connected to the TV, using scart cable. Has bit of a loose connection and has to push the floppy disk in like a raw egg. You would laugh today and grab your head if you had to change the CD's at a game like I had to change floppy disks back then (were 4)

Diskette = 1.44 MB + CD Rom = 650 to 879 MB!
