The harddrive staying silent even though you were mashing keys like crazy was a sure way to tell that your PC had given up on life.

Yeah hitting "save file" and not actually hearing the sound of the file being written to disk was enough to give you a chill

For me it was installing games. The installer was still active, but the drive stayed silent? The installer was lying.

Yeah you can tell the installer just had a time limit hard-coded, like it took them about two minutes on their test machine,

Not nearly as bad as hearing "click...click....click" from the HDD. The PTSD is still strong...

Thanks I can hear this and I hate it.

At least you knew; now when an SSD fails it just…. dies.

Literally shuddering. RIP The epic Doom megawad I was working on for two years 😥
