Hi There,
I have a Western Digital 80GB Special Edition (8mb cache)HD and I've noticed that occasionally (every 20 seconds) it emits a short noise. It sounds like an "activity noise." I looked at the LED light on my computer and the Hard Drive LED doesn't blink/light up or anything when the noise comes, but it sounds like it's coming from the HD. What's going on? Anyone have this problem with their HD? Is it normal? I hear it when it's dead quiet, like at night when I'm working. Thanks for your input.
