This hard drive has just restarted while online again , i had it tested at a computer shop . It is faulty , it boots slowly it sounds as if it is clicking and scraping ,. When it boots up and it slows down the machine when plugged in . That was what they wrote on the receipt .

Hi, apologies as i've just seen your post.

As it's a new HD, have you tried changing the SATA cable or trying a different port?

Also check for any firmware updates... What drive is it?
