Well i recently recieved my second 40gig maxtor hdd from ebay the other day. It all seems fine (runs smoothly etc). Theres just one problem, its making a whining like noise continously (unless my pc is switched off, obviously :P ) and its really starting to get on my nerves.
I am just wondering if this is a fault with the hard drive?? Or are Maxtor hard drives known for this whining noise??
I really want to try stop the problem, or know if it is a fault with the hdd, because if its a fault with it, im going to just scrap it and pick another up just incase it crashes and i lose data
Thanks for your time. ^__^
EDIT: Just to let you know, my main hdd was also ordered off ebay, it's a sony (i think) 40gb hdd, and it makes no annoying noise what so ever.
