Hey guys,
Well, when I built this computer about 8 months ago or so, I had to RMA the harddrive twice before I finally got one that did not give off a high pitched whine which I could easily hear from 20+ feet away. Right now I'm running my case with the side panel off and sometimes, but not of (yet?) the harddrivwe will make repeated but quiet ticking noises while it's seeking. If I place my finger on the side of the drive, even just lightly, the ticking stops until I take my finger away. Should I RMA this harddrive, will it be getting worse, or is this something I shouldn't worry about?
