Hi.
I have a question:
I bought and installed this hard drive and have been running it for about a few weeks now.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822148140
Most of the reviewers on newegg claim that this drive runs very quiet and cool...well that is not the case with my drive. My drive runs very hot and noisy all the time.
This is my secondary drive and I don't have any raid configuration. My OS and all programs are on the primary drive and even with that, according to speedfan, my secondary drive is always hotter by a few degrees C.
I can't hear noise when I'm not using it, but when I play a file from the secondary HD I can hear a lot of noise. (My primary hd does not make any noticeable noise during normal use).
Is there anything that can be causing this or is it just my drive?
