Hello,
Are some laptop hard drives just inherently noisier than others-
i.e. when the computer or a program starts up and the drive is
accessed there are audible noises heard.
However, other drives just seem to have a quiet hum that they are
working.
Are those that are noisier dying? Thanks.
It's not the noise, but changes in the noise. If a previously quiet
drive suddenly starts getting noisier that may indicate a dying
drive. It can also simply indicate a move to a quieter environment.
Some drives are inherently noiser than others...I swear, some drive
manufacturers tie little maracas to their drive heads; they sound
like a flamenco when they're working.
