Till today I used 3 hdd, first form Segate, second Hitachi and Now Samsung.

7 years Old Segate make noise like Crackers from last 2-3 yrs, still didn't seen any problem.

Hitachi Deskstar (k) (i don't remeber exact) but makes noise just from 3rd day I buy, I return it to dealer.

Now have samsung 80GB ATA, no noise so far, silent running.

May be SATA/PATA are latest and makes noise due to high performance and speed.

Hi,

Thanks for all your comments.

I really don't FEEL that the performance is better with that noise rather I FEEL it slow downs the performance.

Just do not forget to take Backup all of your important work! Precaution is better than Cure!

@Manshahia--->some times power cable r responsible for noise change ur cable or just adjust the cable up and down when the computer is off
