Hard Drive beep

[mjreddy]

Hey everyone, I've got this noise that I'm occasionally hearing from one of my hard drives that sounds like a beep or something. Right now i have 3 400GB Seagate SATAs, not sure which one is making the noise or if its just one of them. THey are all relatively new. Any ideas on what this sound is? Thanks

The hard drive are making beeping noises? Describe this sound more... I really don't think a beep would be coming from the drives.

I have some 400GB Seagate SATA drives that "chirp." Strange thing is that one of them does it on shutdown, the other chirps a number of times on bootup. They work fine though. Dunno.

yeah, chirp is probably a much more accurate description. the drives seem to be working fine. access times seem to be a bit slow at times, maybe that's in my head. i was wondering if it might be secondary to my power supply being too weak to handle it all...
