If I can hear it chatter over the sound of all my fans I will be downright scared!Pete said:BTW, digi, if the HD chatters when it's not being accessed, apparently that's Seeks To Increase Reliability, or some preemptive error checking. I asked about it in relation to my 160GB PATA Seagate, and threads in both Ars and SPCR say it's normal. Its frequency seems to reduce with time, so don't worry too much about it.

Don't say Maxtor.
Pete said:WD bought Seagate? I don't remember that. I remember Seagate buying Quantum and Hitachi buying out IBM's HD bidness, but I think WD and Seagate are still separate, competing entities.
