I currently have 3 hard drives in my main PC
2x 80gb WD JB
1x 120gb WD JB
And in my server I have another 120 gb jb drive.
I recently took apart my system because of some bad caps on my motherboard and noticed how truly loud the hard drives were when I put them into my server (it has less fans so I can hear the HD noise better).
What worries me is....one of the 80 gb drives has a humming sound that is considerably louder than the other 80 gb drive yet they are the exact same drive and I even purchased them at the same time.
The 120 gb drive in my pc makes about the same noise as the quieter 80 gb drive, and the 120 gb drive in my server makes the least noise (it's also a year newer).
So should I be worried here or am I being paranoid?
