I installed this hard disk, and I am getting a humming sound. Is there any way to solve it?

Did you replace your existing magnetic hard drive with this? I replaced a traditional hard drive on my laptop and found that it was so quiet now I easily hear the processor fan start up and go off. Could that be what you are hearing?

There are no moving parts in this SSD. So.. source of humming isn't the SSD. Check for stuff that you removed & remounted in the process of installing this SSD. It may be that something isn't screwed down as tightly as it was prior. And in case anyone was wondering if it could be electrical hum... I doubt it. This is a 5VDC device.... too low a voltage to cause any hum (& besides... it's DC only).

Thank you. Is there any rubber or other stuff around the hard disk? I will be installing it on my desktop which will be very close to me in a silent environment, i am trying to find a cage that can eliminate all the vibration from the hard disk.

That doesn't sound good, it sounds like a part is loose in the motor, I would personally return it. I bought 2 and they hummed and purred, there was no grinding noise at all. Hope this helps.

I absolutely adore my Toshiba, but this noise is driving me INSANE. Figured there was just some fur in there (I have two cats), but I'm glad to know that it's not just mine. I'm gonna try the oil thing. The tap didn't really work.

I'd send it back if you can--I've had mine for a while and it oscillates just fine with no noise other than WD40 I wouldn't know what to do to it.

I had this humming/buzzing noise problem when I bought Samsung 21". The monitor started humming after it was on for 5 minutes. It was not loud, but annoying. I returned it to Costco. Don't know what problem that was.

Yes. Also this desktop has a problem of making a loud humming noise, check with other reviewers, this seems to be a common occurrence.

I don't think I've heard any on mine. If you are hearing the hum while using the RCA jacks then maybe trying unplugging it from USB/have the turntable and speakers on separate outlets. If you are hearing it over USB then maybe just try the same isolation but between the computer and the turntable.

Ok did you know if the hard drive is working, for example rotating, can you hear it or feel any vibration or click inside?? Or you tried to put another hard drive inside the same enclosure?? let me know to help you

I'd replace it. If had one for several weeks which I use for about 10 hours per day. It's been great so far with no humming noise!

This sounds like a defect. My unit is very stable and in normal use has been extremely quiet. Maybe yous has been damaged during shipment?

Mine doesn't make a sound. Might be something wrong with the fan or something. Luckily, your WD has a 3 year warranty when you purchase it. You can either talk to your seller, or call customer service of WD since your WD has 3 year warranty with them...

I also bought this laptop recently and am also hearing the strange hard drive noise. It's like a squeaking sound. As long as the hard drive functions well it's not an issue, but if this is a precursor to hard drive failure then I'd be worried.

I have the same version but with a metal chassis and noticed this whine. I'm going to look into a replacement. It makes the noise about 20 seconds after plugging in the power.

That's odd- I have this same computer (Amazon sent me an email to answer this for you because of it) and I never hear a sound from it. My suggestion would be that if you haven't already, check your CD player for anything- it likes to run disks even when they are not playing. Otherwise that sounds kind of abnormal. Best of luck!

Well, let me qualify my response, not unless the 'appliance' you have plugged in to happens to produce a humming sound. For whatever reason that is. LMAO!
