Reisender Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 Hello could anyone please tell me if this HDD really is supposed to make so extremely noise, like my makes? Till now I ve just used Western Digitals HDDs, and they made as much noise as they weren t on, really silence. But this HITACH sounds like a tractor, you know, like the PC from my grandma was.

aiya Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 i have a SATAII 250gb version and its been quiet since the day i bought it. i do hear it when it is seeking but its not loud enough to bother me. if it bothers you that much you can use the Feature Tools from Hitachi to slow down the seeks so it becomes quieter.

Smoken Joe Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 A huge part fo it can be simple mounting- I changed 80 often as I modded the case some tmes it was dead quiet- note with 4 of them. and sometimes it souded like a rock cruser. Make sure they are securly mounted and if theya downnt work you can use dual disded foam take on the drives too. plenty of options they ar not known as extreemly noisy though in some situatiuons they are.

supershanks Posted July 14, 2006 Posted July 14, 2006 I'd try Smoken Joe's suggestion 1st & try remounting it, costs nothing & may be the fault. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
