    My Computer drive makes a loud fan noise very often and I know this is not normal?
    It usually stops after minutes and becomes quiet, but then later on, the fan starts going loud.
    How can I stop this noise from coming again? Should I clean the fan from all the dust or is there another way?

    The more dust gets on the fan/heatsink, the harder it has to work to cool down your components.
    Not rlly rocket science izzit? :D


    And if you actually have a fan on your hard disk then it is 1) a sucky hard disk, 2) failed attempt at pimping your pc, or 3) a fail computer by itself.

    I hope you mean the fan on your processor (attached onto your motherboard).

    or it could be the hard drive itself; if it's old replace it.
