How have you set them in the Bios?

Anyway, can you tell us if the noise they make would be more like the mechanical parts noise at wprk, or does it sounds like something is [almost] broken?

ffirst of all....thanx again dear as far as d noise i think its not mechanical noise cuz earlier i havent heard this kind of noise....its more like a strong or VERY hard TICK SOUND....and i dnt hav much idea about bios setting

So it sounds like a mechanical part faulty? I mean it is not like a normal mechanical work, eh?

Get into the Bios, and see how they are set - Raid, etc.
