| MEATMAN | Mine makes this odd sound occasionally at startup. Sounds a bit like a modem. Whenever it does, I get a "hard disk boot failure." It goes away when I reset. |

| Zbu Manowar | That or it's a Maxtor. Seriously, for some reason those HDs are loud as fuck. When Western Digital ones do that, then it means the world is ending. Learned that the hard way. |

No, performance wasn't affected at all. I'm pretty sure it's not the fan because it's so fucking loud there's no way the fan motor could make such a noise... I tried a scan and it found no problems, then (for the first time since I got this thing) I decided to defrag... since the defrag it has not been noisy at all. Problem appears to be solved.... maybe it's a certain area of the disk being accessed that causes it to go nuts and defragging moved files being used away from that area? Is that even possible? |

| whoreable | run some diagnostics. Maybe the drive is having problems. |

Does your computer seem to run slowly or weird when it's noisy? Are you sure it's not a fan that turns on when the inside of the case reaches a certain temperature? |

LOUD hard drive Lately my hard drive has been very loud at irregular moments. It seems to be independent of disk activity, but it's especially loud at boot-up (usually). I've encountered this before but it's usually with older drives, and mine is less than a year old. Anybody know wtf? |
