I went and got one of these drives today, extremely fast, it beats the heck out of my WD SE 120 I got in the Dell Deal last October.
Here is my question, the drive is very noisy, when It reads it makes like a grinding noise (not a bad grinding), the drive is functional though. However if its disconnected and you shake it a little you hear the arm moving inside, my other drives dont do this. Is it possible I have a defective drive already Im going to run maxblast diag tonight, but right now the drive is fully functional. Maybe I should have not deleted the data off my WD so quick
Any help would be appreciated, sorry if this is a little o/t
