If you were to open your case and place your hand on the hard drive, does it vibrate more than it should? If you have both hard drives in the pc, does one vibrate more than the other? Is the new one properly seccured to your bay that it is in?
yes i would agree witht he above post, when a hard drive spins, the 15krpm ones sound nice, makes you feel cool when you have 2 of them in your pc lol.it doesnt really buzz, just grinds a bit sometimes. i would check the seating
I agree...perhaps your waiting for an explosion...
However maybe it's supposed to be like that. Maybe you'll need to adjust. Most of my family think that my ear is permanently attached to my PC Case, or occasionally very close to a fan. I get extremely paranoid. Even when the fans spin on POST, I wack the nearest champagne glass with a spoon and listen intently...
