So is there any way to reduce this seek noise? Any case mods I can do? EDIT: found this on newegg: will that help with the seek noise or just the idle noise? It doesn't seem that vibrations are the problem here, so I don't want to waste $30 on nothing. I also listened to their other recordings and it seems that this is "normal". So now I know that my drive isn't broken, and if I RMA for a replacement I just get the same issue. There I found this audio recording of the drive (you can hear the crackling towards the end.scroll down): I got an RMA number and all that, until I found a review of the 750GB version of the drive on. Perhaps it was because the Sparkle "Jet Engine" Power PSU drowned the sound out, but now I'm hearing this "crackling sound" that I haven't heard since my sisters old Compaq Presario ('98 or so). The only thing is that my Seagate 7200.10 320GB drive is making a seek noise that I've never heard on my old WD 160GB drive with 8mb buffer. Some BIOS tweaking is in order but otherwise everything is good and blazing fast.
I just built my new PC last night with no major problems (details below).
