restoration of the second HDD

[Aen1]

When the computer is turned on, I often hear you restart the secondary HDD.

I have the power supply set to 0 minutes so it should not turn off by itself.
ActiveSMART shows me the power of the disk in half which is not much. writes that the disk is weak.
Do you know what it could be?

@Aen1 --  the disk is weak

Is that the exact wording, or an English translation of the wording?

Does it mean that the disk-drive is in "failing health" -- needing to be replaced, before it dies?

Disk health it was normal now there is good again.

The HDD still emits a startup or shutdown sound.

Hello
a second HDD drive, is not in use all the time, if that's your problem
It therefore does not run continuously, but just in case of reading / writing
See with the tests, if everything is ok, not too much to worry about

I did this test and everything is fine.

is it possible to turn it off somehow? those sounds are terrible.

[Prométhée]

No, it's not that simple
There are times when the hdd must be running
Either you do not use it, which is not a solution, in this case, the most effective is to remove it
It is possible that your HDD is particularly noisy, if you are under warranty, see if you can have it exchanged.
I have my computer in the same type of configuration, and I have no problem with that!

I use the disc for games, but when I watch only YouTube, for example, I hear blows on the disc as at the start.

that sound can be heard for 5-10 hours.

As I told you, the only solution would be to replace it with a quieter HDD.
You can not have an HDD, which does not work in order to avoid noise
Just in case, are you sure it's the HDD that's making the noise, not something else?

[Aen1]

it's from HDD, otherwise the benchmark from HD tune is okay?
