VenuS Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 Hi guys ! I just installed my new Raptor 150 GB and i was shocked by the noise this drive making.Before i had 2x160 GB WD drives and when they both was working the noise was barely noticable.But this one ... damn ... Is it normal that these drives do make such a noise? Another question: Should i use Nvidia IDE drivers instead of MS ? Will it improve something?

tuskenraider Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 Shouldn't hear anything at idle, but when they seek, you're almost expecting coffee grounds to start falling out of your PC. Obviously, it can be mount/case dependant as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
