Re: Loud Harddrive Clicking noise periodicaly-Dell700m
Hi
Yes, I read that problem before with the Hitachi drives. However, mine is an
IBM drive, and it makes a different sound. Users of the Hitachi drive said,
that they get the sound, that is like:
tick.....tick....tick....tick
However, All I get is tick and then nothing for 10-20-30 mintues, and then
again, tick.
Anybody heard that before?
Thanks
Ben
