Select ThinkPads have a eSATA Port. eSATA provides a faster (wider bandwidth) external storage interface than USB, but does not provide power so eSATA devices require an external power supply.

Problem with hard drive clicking

2011-04-22T21:47:51Z

Rachelsdad: Added reference to Danis506 and the /APM switch (for OS/2 & eCS)

Many users have reported a '''problem with hard drive clicking''', sometimes described as a repeating '''tick tick tick''' type of ticking sound, or a '''faint beep''' at random intervals.

The click sound is caused by the drive parking its head. There are multiple causes for that, including power management and shock detection (see below). It can also mean that your drive is about to DIE.
Check /var/log/messages for suspicious errors and backup!

The [[Hitachi Travelstar 5K80]] series, which shipped with many T series Thinkpads, is reported to suffer from this problem in particular. The clicks occur rapidly, and are quiet but noticeable. While in use in a quiet environment, the clicks can be relatively loud and annoying. The clicks seem to happen when the drive is idle and the power has been on for a significant period of time. The clicking is also reported on other vendors' laptop hard drives, and is therefore almost certainly hard drive related rather than laptop chassis related.

The clicking sound appears to occur only when the drive is idle. Forcing the drive to be busy silences the ticking. Launching programs that access the hard drive, such as searching or defragmenting the drive, helps for a time. Cycling the power on the hard drive, such as through a full power-off reboot of the system, stops the ticking for the moment. <tt>hdparm</tt> can be used to reset the drive without rebooting, or to set the power management settings.

Others recommend using Hitachi's drive feature tool to increase the acoustic management level.

=== Possible cause and speculation ===

Laptop drives (especially Hitachi [[Hitachi Travelstar 5K80]], [[Hitachi Travelstar 5K100]] and SAMSUNG MP0804H) can '''unload heads''' very often, producing a noticeable click. Some ThinkPad BIOSes can be very eager to program the HD Advanced Power Management feature (<tt>hdparm -B</tt>), even when told to always keep the HD in "Maximum Performance mode", and will do so every time AC state changes and when coming out of suspend (be it S3 or S4). Unless you reset the HD's APM mode, it will unload its heads eventually, thus producing the clicks.

Another possible cause is the drive firmware running a low level '''surface media check''' periodically during idle time.

It is not known whether the problem is a sign of impending drive failure. The root cause of the problem is not yet known. It is quite likely to be a normal mode of drive operation. The problem is very prevalent.

Do not confuse this with regular activity. Many daemons poll (config) files every few seconds. Despite files being cached, POSIX compliant filesystems like ext2 or ext3 must update (= write) the last access time. More details and a workaround in [[How to reduce power consumption#Hard_Drives]].

=== Tracking down the cause of the clicks ===

Using "'''<tt>smartctl -A</tt>'''" (part of the the <tt>[http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/smartmontools/wiki smartmontools]</tt> package), it is possible to check if any of the drive's attributes related to platter spin-up/down or head unload are increasing when a click is heard. That can help pinpointing the cause of the clicks.

A shell script like this may help:

<pre>#!/bin/bash
lastval=0
while :
do
newval=`smartctl -A /dev/sda | awk '$2=="Load_Cycle_Count" {print $10}'`
if [[ $newval != $lastval ]] # i.e., anything has changed (here: load cycle count only)
then
date
echo $newval
fi
lastval=$newval
sleep 30 # or some other interval
done
</pre>

=== Possible solutions (Linux) ===

The clicking noise apparently occurs when the drive is parking its heads (and ramping them off the drive surface in the process) after a timeout after the last disk access. Temporary relief has been found by using '''<tt>hdparm</tt>''' to turn off power management for the drive:

: {{cmdroot|hdparm -B 255 /dev/sda}}

That should stop the drive from parking the heads except when turning off. You can also try

: {{cmdroot|hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda}}

which doesn't turn power management off, but is the least aggressive setting: it will still unload heads, but far less often. (The drives ''are'' prepared to withstand a great number of head unloads: 200,000 unloads are typical, and Hitachi drives tolerate about 600,000 unloads.)

To make these changes permanent, you have to ensure that the <tt>-B</tt> commands are reissued at every boot, after resuming from disk or RAM, after hotswapping, and ''every time the ThinkPad BIOS might try to override them''. This is done in two steps: changing the default settings when the system boots, and changing the settings when the system resumes after the lid is closed and re-opened.

==== Start-up settings ====

On Debian, edit <tt>/etc/hdparm.conf</tt> (as root):

: {{cmdroot|vi /etc/hdparm.conf}}

Add the following lines:

# Change sda to hda if it's a PATA drive
/dev/sda {
apm = 255
}

Then, to refresh the settings, run

: {{cmdroot|update-rc.d hdparm defaults}}

On [http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Laptop#Hard_drive_spin_down_problem Arch Linux], edit <tt>/etc/rc.local</tt> instead and add:

hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda

Then reboot the system, and the clicking noise should be gone.

==== Wake-up settings ====

The clicking may resume when the lid is closed and re-opened. To fix this, create an executable file named <tt>50_hdparm-pm</tt> in <tt>/etc/pm/sleep.d</tt>:

: {{cmdroot|vi /etc/pm/sleep.d/50_hdparm-pm}}

With the following content:

#!/bin/sh
if [ -n "$1" ] && ([ "$1" = "resume" ] || [ "$1" = "thaw" ]); then
hdparm -B 255 /dev/your-hard-drive > /dev/null
fi

To make it executable, run:

: {{cmdroot|chmod +x /etc/pm/sleep.d/50_hdparm-pm}}

If this does not help, but manually setting <tt>hdparm -B 255 /dev/sda</tt> does, try the script below instead:

#!/bin/sh
. "${PM_FUNCTIONS}"
case "$1" in
thaw|resume)
sleep 2
hdparm -B 255 /dev/sda
;;
*)
;;
esac
exit $NA

On [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/59695 Ubuntu] 8.10 (Linux Mint 6) on a T42, there seems to be something else setting a lower value in battery mode, which might be coming from the BIOS because it clicks during boot and stops with this in place. Make an executable file named "<tt>99-hdd-spin-fix.sh</tt>" (the important thing is it's starting with "<tt>99</tt>"), containing the following:

#!/bin/sh
# Use a less aggressive hard disk power management to get rid of
# clicking noise when the drive is parking its heads
hdparm -B 255 /dev/sda

Then, copy this file to <tt>/etc/acpi/suspend.d/</tt>, <tt>/etc/acpi/resume.d/</tt> and <tt>/etc/acpi/start.d/</tt>. Remember to make the files executable (<tt>chmod +x</tt>).

The problem seems to be solved on Ubuntu 10.04.

Otherwise, try to reset the drive with <tt>-w</tt>, but note that this may cause data loss, according to <tt>hdparm</tt>'s man page. When used in the following way to stop the clicking, I have not seen any data loss. YMMV.

# hdparm /dev/sda
# sync
# sleep 5
# sync
# hdparm -w /dev/sda

Yet another solution is to install the <tt>laptop-mode-tools</tt> package and edit <tt>/etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf</tt>, setting <tt>CONTROL_HD_POWERMGMT=1</tt> and ensuring that <tt>hdparm</tt> sets <tt>-B 255</tt>.

=== Possible solution (Windows) ===

On a X41T, do BIOS, firmware and IBM updates. Then simply disable the ShockProtection of the hard drive. On a native X41T Windows installation, it solved the problem; one will hear a click only every hour. It seems that the problem is related to an aggressive setting that will try to park the head often to protect the drive, so the problem is not related with power management settings. Perhaps a similar approach also works under Linux. – WBonX (Hitachi drive)

=== Specific models ===

==== Hitachi C4K60 (HTC426060G9AT00) ====

On a Thinkpad X41 with a has a 60 GB Hitachi C4K60 (HTC426060G9AT00) hard disk that had the clicking problem (even in Windows), the <tt>hdparm</tt> solution above did not work. The problem was indeed caused by the hard disk unloading the heads when idle, and the <tt>Load_Cycle_Count</tt> SMART statistic could be seen increasing when the clicks occurred.

<tt>hdparm -B</tt> settings did not seem to help, and a check of the hard drive's specs (available in [http://www.hitachigst.com/tech/techlib.nsf/products/Travelstar_C4K60 hitachigst.com]) verified that setting the APM mode off (<tt>hdparm -B 255</tt>) would set it actually to the lowest APM mode (the same as <tt>hdparm -B 254</tt>). In this drive, even the lowest APM mode unloads the heads very aggressively, causing the clicking sounds. Another problem is that the drive is rated only for 600,000 unload/load cycles, which means that the drive will break in at most a couple of years.

{{NOTE|This observation is only about the specific model (Hitachi C4K60), and is not true for more recent Hitachi drives, which do disable APM with <tt>-B 255</tt>.}}

==== Samsung MP0804H 80GB ====

On this drive, the clicking noise can be immediately stopped just by enabling ''automatic offline tests'' using

: {{cmdroot|smartctl -o on /dev/hda}}

Even more strange is that SMART wasn't enabled by default, although the drive supports it.

The drive had already performed 15,539 load cycles (out of 600,000) within only one week.

Note that enabling SMART (<tt>-s</tt> on) without enabling offline tests – which is what I did immediately after observing the clicks – did not solve the problem, but made it quite clear that the drive was badly in need of some care.

==== Seagate Momentus 7200.1 and 7200.3 ====

Reported in X61t and X61 (I have a ST9320421AS).

On these drives, each click does indeed correspond to an increase in SMART attribute 193, "<tt>193 Load_Cycle_Count</tt>", as you can see by doing a

: {{cmdroot|smartctl -A /dev/sda}}

before and after a click.

It seems like the problem is that the default powersaving mode for the drive is one which causes clicking. In fact, executing

: {{cmdroot|hdparm -B 255 /dev/sda}}

which is supposed to turn off power management, actually leaves power management ''on'', and is equivalent to

: {{cmdroot|hdparm -B 128 /dev/sda}}

as can be seen by comparing the results of

# hdparm -B 1 /dev/sda; hdparm -I /dev/sda | grep Advanced
# hdparm -B 128 /dev/sda; hdparm -I /dev/sda | grep Advanced
# hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda; hdparm -I /dev/sda | grep Advanced
# hdparm -B 255 /dev/sda; hdparm -I /dev/sda | grep Advanced

This may or may not be related to something else strange; the drive reports that the advanced power management level is 0x8000 more than what you set it to, presumably leading <tt>hdparm</tt> to report that it is always set to "unknown setting" (since the number should be between 1 and 255). FYI, the results of the above sequence of commands are:

{{cmdroot|hdparm -B 1 /dev/sda; hdparm -I /dev/sda | grep Advanced}}

/dev/sda:
setting Advanced Power Management level to 0x01 (1)
Advanced power management level: unknown setting (0x8001)
* Advanced Power Management feature set

{{cmdroot|hdparm -B 128 /dev/sda; hdparm -I /dev/sda | grep Advanced}}

/dev/sda:
setting Advanced Power Management level to 0x80 (128)
Advanced power management level: unknown setting (0x8080)
* Advanced Power Management feature set

{{cmdroot|hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda; hdparm -I /dev/sda | grep Advanced}}

/dev/sda:
setting Advanced Power Management level to 0xfe (254)
Advanced power management level: unknown setting (0x80fe)
* Advanced Power Management feature set

{{cmdroot|hdparm -B 255 /dev/sda; hdparm -I /dev/sda | grep Advanced}}

/dev/sda:
setting Advanced Power Management level to disabled
Advanced power management level: unknown setting (0x8080)
Advanced Power Management feature set

The workaround seems to be to execute

: {{cmdroot|hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda}}

So it seems like the drive is interpreting "<tt>hdparm -B 255 /dev/sda</tt>", which I'm guessing is the default (and which is supposed to be ''not'' powersaving mode) as a request to go into powersaving mode, which causes it to spin down a lot and to and click. And I'm guessing that "<tt>hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda</tt>" actually takes it out of powersaving mode.

Somewhat annoying, because

: {{cmdroot|smartctl -A /dev/sda}}

shows that I have already accumulated a <tt>Load_Cycle_Count</tt> 106680 after owning the laptop for just a few weeks! I'm not sure that I understand this stuff, but if this corresponds to "Load/Unload Cycles" in http://www.seagate.com/docs/pdf/datasheet/disc/ds_momentus7200.pdf, then that's more than 1/6 of the drive's lifetime!

I can confirm that after having my drive for about 5 days now, the 193 cycle count is already at 3000, and it's steadily increasing. That is really annoying. Unfortunately, changing the powersave mode on my drive (ST9320421AS) only breaks my hibernate capability (the laptop resumes immediately), but it won't stop the clicking; instead it will increase it.

===== Firmware upgrade =====

While no firmware update was found direct from IBM/Lenovo, Dell support offers a firmware update for a nearly-identical Seagate drive model. In at least in two cases (model T500, 7200.3; model Z61m 7200.3), the firmware update eliminated the clicking issue. Details available from this <s>[http://forums.seagate.com/stx/board/message?board.id=ata_drives&thread.id=2677&view=by_date_ascending&page=2 Seagate Thread]</s> [http://forums.seagate.com/t5/Momentus-XT-Momentus-and/CLICKING-NOISE-ISSUE-on-Momentus-7200-3-ST9320421AS-320GB/m-p/12498#M78 Seagate Thread] (version that works, maybe they have restructured their forum) or [http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Talk:Problem_with_hard_drive_clicking here] (for ST9160411ASG).

==== [http://sdd.toshiba.com/main.aspx?Path=HardDrivesOpticalDrives/2.5-inchHardDiskDrives/MK2035GSS/MK2035GSSSpecifications Toshiba MK2035GSS] ====

The issue happens with "laptop mode" disabled. BIOS is an "AMIBIOS 8.00.14", and the chipset is "Mobile Intel GM965 Express".

I can solve the problem with the <tt>hdparm</tt> workaround. The lowest value that makes the trick for me is:

: {{cmdroot|sudo hdparm -B 192 /dev/sda}}

=== Firmware upgrades ===

There are two HD firmware upgrades on Lenovo's support website. One is specific to X41's, and will upgrade Hitachi's to Release A0L0 (document [http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-67238 MIGR-67238], 2007/01/24). The upgrade comes in three forms: diskette, Windows executable and ISO CD-ROM image. IBM's latest posted firmware, A5DA, does not appear to solve the problem.

A newer upgrade set ([http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-62282 MIGR-62282], 2007/05/02) updates HD firmwares of several brands, including Hitachi. The patch upgrades firmware for HTC4260xxG9AT00 to A0L2 (according to program output, from 00P3A0B5 to 00P3A0L2). The upgrade comes in a large (20 MB) ISO format, or as several diskettes. There is seemingly no Windows executable; upgrading a diskless machine can therefore be problematic (it involves making a DOS-based USB bootable drive).

The upgrade caused one X41 Tablet HTC426060G9AT00 drive to stop clicking.

=== Solutions for OS/2 (eComStation) ===

Using the latest [http://svn.netlabs.org/xata Danis506 driver], it is possible to set the APM level of the drive with the /APM:x switch. For the Western Digital Scorpio Blue 320GB EIDE, for example, /APM:254 seems to quiet it down. Like hdparm, lower values may be possible for this and other models.

=== Another possible solution ===

IBM, when notified about this occurrence, may replace the drive with a Fujitsu 5k 80GB hard drive, as to them the sound is indicative of a potential hard drive failure.

=== Data recovery service ===

In many cases, a software solution would not solve a problem with a clicking hard drive caused by a defective head disk assembly (HDA) or a firmware issue. Consider using an expert data recovery service such as [http://www.WeRecoverData.com WeRecoverData.com].

=== Linux WiFi driver ===
A free Linux 'airo' driver is available, and included in recent 2.6 kernels.

There is a [http://airo-linux.sourceforge.net/ sourceforge] project page for this driver, but it seems to have been abandoned.

One of the developers has his own project page [http://bellet.info/laptop/t40.html#wireless here], but there have not been any updates since September 2004.

In addition there is a slightly dated 'mpi350' driver available from [http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/aironet-utils-linux Cisco] after jumping through a bunch of hoops, such as providing Cisco with your personal information.
The current Cisco driver version is 2.1 and only supports select Linux 2.4 kernels.
The Cisco driver does not support Linux commands such as iwconfig. However, one can use the Cisco ACU GUI with the Linux 'airo' driver for read-only status information.

=== OS/2 and eCS driver ===
This card should be supported by [http://genmac.netlabs.org/en/site/downloads.xml GenMAC] 2.20 and above.

=== Known problems ===
====Linux 2.4====
The older airo or mpi350 drivers might not work with certain (more recent) [http://bellet.info/laptop/airo_mpi.HOWTO.txt Cisco firmware]. Evidently there is a Windows tool allowing you to modify the firmware, but if you already nuked your win32 partition, you'll be in a pickle. For Linux 2.4, you would want an older firmware version 5b00.08 or 5.00.03, which is packaged with version 3.4.9 of the Cisco Windows drivers.

{{NOTE|There also have been reports that the Window driver auto-magically updates the firmware, so if you dual boot between operating systems one day your linux wireless driver may stop working. Be careful about Windows Update or Microsoft Update. '''Never''' update the Cisco software in Windows - it also updates the firmware silently.}}

====Linux 2.6====
The above described problem does not apply to 2.6 kernels. Cisco updated its mpi350 driver and the fixes have been reverse-engineered and incorporated in the open-source airo driver for Linux 2.6. I.e. Cisco firmware version 5.60.17 and 5.20.17 work with Linux 2.6.11 and airo driver 0.6. The firmware is upgraded under WinXP automatically with Cisco driver updates. Older firmware also works with the Linux 2.6 driver

In addition there is a slightly dated 'mpi350' driver available from [http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/aironet-utils-linux Cisco] after jumping through a bunch of hoops, such as providing Cisco with your personal information.
The current Cisco driver version is 2.1 and only supports select Linux 2.4 kernels.
The Cisco driver does not support Linux commands such as iwconfig. However, one can use the Cisco ACU GUI with the Linux 'airo' driver for read-only status information.

=== Known problems ===
====Linux 2.4====
The older airo or mpi350 drivers might not work with certain (more recent) [http://bellet.info/laptop/airo_mpi.HOWTO.txt Cisco firmware]. Evidently there is a Windows tool allowing you to modify the firmware, but if you already nuked your win32 partition, you'll be in a pickle. For Linux 2.4, you would want an older firmware version 5b00.08 or 5.00.03, which is packaged with version 3.4.9 of the Cisco Windows drivers.

{{NOTE|There also have been reports that the Window driver auto-magically updates the firmware, so if you dual boot between operating systems one day your linux wireless driver may stop working. Be careful about Windows Update or Microsoft Update. '''Never''' update the Cisco software in Windows - it also updates the firmware silently.}}

====Linux 2.6====
The above described problem does not apply to 2.6 kernels. Cisco updated its mpi350 driver and the fixes have been reverse-engineered and incorporated in the open-source airo driver for Linux 2.6. I.e. Cisco firmware version 5.60.17 and 5.20.17 work with Linux 2.6.11 and airo driver 0.6. The firmware is upgraded under WinXP automatically with Cisco driver updates. Older firmware also works with the Linux 2.6 driver

Get firmware information from {{path|/proc/driver/aironet/eth?/Status}} (eth0 or eth1) (airo driver) or {{path|/proc/driver/mpi350/Status}} (mpi350 driver).

====OS/2 and eCS====
This card should be supported by [http://genmac.netlabs.org/en/site/downloads.xml GenMAC] 2.20 and above.

=== Full Disk Encryption ===
Lenovo's 'Full Disk Encryption' (FDE) is a technology incorporated into some of Seagate's FDE-ready hard disks. It provides encryption of all of the contents of the hard disk.

{{HINT|This page have been written based on commercial documentation. It should be reviewed based on real life experience}}

=== Features ===
* Multi platform (Linux, Windows).
* Protects the whole disk (including FAT partition...)
* No performance impact.
* Compatible with TPM
* AES (the chip which performs AES encryption has been [http://www.seagate.com/ww/v/index.jsp?locale=en-US&name=null&vgnextoid=ade81f7095904110VgnVCM100000f5ee0a0aRCRD certified] by [http://csrc.nist.gov/cryptval/aes/aesval.html NIST] )
* Wiping the disk (for disposal...) takes just a second.

</div>
|style="vertical-align:top" |
[[image:momentus5400_3_fde_sm_106x106.gif|FDE Hard disk Photo, credits: seagate.com]]
|}

=== Using Seagate FDE ===
Using FDE as as easy as setting up the hard disk password (from BIOS). You can choose to have just a user password, or both a user and a master password.
You can export the key to an external storage, for password recovery (you need the password !!)

N.B.: The [http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-69621 Lenovo FAQ on FDE] specifically states that on the T60 & T61, there is no means of backing up or exporting the key, but that the drive may be used in another system (it is evidently not tied to a motherboard [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_disk_encryption#Full_disk_encryption_and_Trusted_Platform_Module Trusted Platform Module]).

==== Lost password ====
Three possibilities :
* Use the master password to change the user key.
* Recover the password using the previously exported key. (See note from Lenovo FAQ, above.)
* Reset the encryption key (which causes the hard disk to be instantly "wiped", and resets the "hard disk password").

==== Wipe the disk ====
Wiping the disk is as easy as reseting the encryption key from the BIOS..

==== TPM ====
It should be possible to use TPM (with fingerprint readers...) not tested yet.
* T61 with TPM & fingerprints, FDE password works with a configured fingerprint but you must use windows based software to program the imprint. By keeping a small windows partition, I am able to boot linux with a fingerprint, fingerprint passes the TPM power-on password AND the FDE disk 1 password, which is separate.

=== Software alternatives ===

It is possible to get similar security, at a very slight performance impact, by using appropriate software-based full disk encryption solutions. For example, under Linux, you can use <tt>dm-crypt</tt> to encrypt the whole disk (including swap and root partitions) except for a bootloader. Numerous tutorials are available on the Internet.
