For example, when I play the game Fortnite, I get in-game or better, not in the lobby, but as soon as I'm in a round, after about 2 minutes a 3 second jerk and my HDD makes a squeaky / click noise at the same time!
I do not understand why 1. My HDD is gambling because I have all my games, programs and Windows 10 installed on my SSD and 2. I do not understand why these 3 seconds jerks + the squeak / click noise of my HDD at the same time take place, speak. As if my HDD would cause these jerks! On my HDD I have only photos, videos, music, etc. Saved.
I would be really grateful if you would bring me light in the dark. I hope my HDD or other hardware is not damaged or will not give up the ghost.

The clicking and squealing makes a HDD happy to turn off, so if the PC gives the command because he does not need it.
The jerk in the game could be caused by a voltage spike or a voltage dip because maybe the HDD does not switch off without reacting to the supply and the power supply may not catch the voltage differences in time…
That would be my first remote diagnosis…
Is your power adapter being overcharged?
Expect the nominal currents of your components together.
My power supply can't really be heavily loaded, since I have already installed this for about 3 years and have upgraded only new case fans.
How exactly do I calculate the rated currents of my components together? ^^
Yes, this is normal if there are too many data on the HDD, because the HDD is mechanical. This chattering is the magnet that is in the HDD, you would not have this problem with an SSD, since everything is electronic
Oh, I understand. But why is my HDD while gambling at all "awake" or active, since I've installed my games anyway or so on my SSD and logically, the HDD should not do anything and have no effect on the games, programs, etc. Have? ^^
But since it was formatted on Windows and therefore remains active all the time.
Annoying!
No problem again and again:-)
I came by accident that my BIOS also displays all currents, powers and even speeds in real time. Since you could also look inside if yours can do that too.
otherwise:
enter the exact name and "technical data" of your hard drives, the motherboard, the CPU, the fans, and installed cards on the motherboard on google. You can look up the designation directly on the components, on the invoice or in the "Device Manager" (simply enter Start in the search field)
In the course of this, the rated currents could already be listed on the components directly or on the invoice.
Alright, thank you very much! ^^
