So i have a WD internal and a Seagate external. Both of these drives make a scratch noise when i shut them off. It sounds like a spinning cd that would hit something like when you move your xbox while its on(do not try that at home or it will kill your cd :p) I don't know if its a normal noise or if they're both about to go. The external HD is not even a year old whereas the interal is about 1 week old.
