high pitched noise
my new hard drive is making a high pitched sound and i have some questions.
1. it seems to be working just fine, so should i keep it, or return it? i have 2 of the same model (ST3250410AS) and its the newest of the two that makes the noise, not the first one i got.
2. if i keep it what can i put in front of them to block the noise? i was thinking a sheet of cardboard. and maybe some cloth.

Re: high pitched noise
If you have lots of info then I don't know but if you don't have much to lose and you have warranty and I were I would get a new one because noise from HHD is NOT normal in anyway

Re: high pitched noise
Just use the warranty while you have it. But if you don't there are kits for noise reduction.
