Re: Hard Drive noises

[Wayne Clodfelter]

Some drives, notably a Maxtor I have on a beige G3, are just noisy 
during normal operation. Hard drives are subject to fail at ANY time. 
They can be new and fail or 10 years old and still running like new. 
Keep backups. Don't worry about drives failing. They are getting better 
and cheaper all the time.

You can hear my ibook's hard drive run. Click, click, click, as the

drive works. Not a constant noise and it has been this way since we 
got it
about a year ago.

Is this a sign of failure?
Do the ibook's hard drive last longer than the 2 year hard drives you 
all
are talking about??
