The drive is brand new and sounds like this, does it sound normal to you?

  • I returned the drives already running a set samsung spinpoints instead.

  • The rumor is that Seagate has inherited Maxtor's poor (chinese) manufacturing and qaulity control practices. If people want HDD manufacturers to clean up their act stop buying their drives.

  • @coolie4u Yes my Hitachi extern >1 GB does work a bit, but after now using it for a while it is now causing the same blue screens - i hate energy saving hard drives ! The old Toshiba drive with over 1 TB and without energy saving mode work´s well.

  • @UntakenNick The clicking comes from the stupid energy saving function. I hate it ! It causes blue screens and data loss !

  • @mmacritics send it back as long as you have warrenty - my dealer has given me the money back after 4 times (raid system) - don´t give up

  • @dq476 The old ones are working but none of the energy saving ones i get is working

  • @BoDyShor Only 2 hard drives crashed ? Have You ever get one that is working without blue screens ?

  • @Marek270409PL Firmware - I urgent suggest - NO don´t do this ! Do not update the Firmware ! You lose Your warrenty ! I have tryed it and it doesen´t work.

  • Your >1TB drive does realy work a bit ? - I am wondering - I have installed 8 and only the extern from Toshiba without energy saving is working. I have given it up to install a new hard drive. Yes it is taking a long time to load (sometimes) - often so long that theire comes a blue screen or huge sectors get lost ! When they are new they work sometimes, but after they are full they crash my system ! I hate energy saving hard drives !!!

  • oboy I hope mine dont make noise, just did a installation video

  • Use CC49 firmware

  • mine has this too... ugh
