| Vista Home Premium 32bit | Is my HDD amking to much noise? Hi guys; I got a DELL XPS M1530, which came with a WDC WD3200BEVT-75ZCT1 298.0GB Hard Drive Disk when I bought it. My computer got some problems, so DELL changed the HDD(which had a block failing) for me, and put in a FUJITSU MHZ2320BH G2 298.09GB instead. My computer is workring faster than before and the problems that I had have all gone(like an eventviewer problem I had for a time ago), but my HDD now seems to make very much "fan noise", and somtimes the clik....clickclickclick... thing and very loud, or at least I think that. Am I just a bit to fuzy with the sound or am I right??? Thanks for your opinions -capi Last edited by capi; 02-24-2009 at 02:42 PM.. |

Get a diagnostic utility from Fujitsu: http://www.fujitsu.com/us/services/c...utilities.html Run it on your notebook and see what it says about your HD.

| | Re: Is my HDD amking to much noise? To be honest what you consider 'loud' the manufacturer might consider as normal for that drive. I well remember being sent a hard drive by Seagate to review. The drive seemed quite quiet in operation for the first few days but got progressively louder as the week progressed. I called Seagate and expressed my concerns and was told 'don't worry about the noise, that is normal.' Well it must have been normal because the drive lasted 5 years without any problem and it was only dispensed with because I left instructions for the PC to be sent to the recycling centre (I was buying a new one) and forgot to take the damn drive out:-( The best thing to do is visit the manufacturer's website and download their drive diagnostic application. Run it on the drive and see if it shows any problems. It is rather disconcerting the loudness of the click, click as the drive head accesses data, but without a diagnostic check it is difficult to say whether the drive is faulty or not. -- John Barnett MVP Windows XP Associate Expert Windows Desktop Experience Web: http://www.winuser.co.uk Web: http://www.silversurfer-guide.com Web: http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org Web: http://vistasupport.mvps.org The information in this mail/post is supplied "as is".

| | Re: Is my HDD amking to much noise? I Agree SMART isn't all that reliable and No I didn't see the YouTube video; I rarely click on links within newsgroup/forum posts. Manufacturer's have far better diagnostic tools than SMART. If you have to return your hard drive to, say the retail outlet that you purchased it from, the first thing they do, after the smug grin and the 'I don't believe you' look, is to run the relevant manufacturer's drive diagnostic software. -- John Barnett MVP Windows XP Associate Expert Windows Desktop Experience Web: http://www.winuser.co.uk Web: http://www.silversurfer-guide.com Web: http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org Web: http://vistasupport.mvps.org The information in this mail/post is supplied "as is".
