Hey all,

Finished my build today, installed Win7 64 on SSD and using a Samsung F3 for storage/games etc...

Then all of a sudden this:

What do you think? RMA?

Good thing that it died on a new build (assuming in was new for the rig)

Ye it was.

The scratching comes on now and again, it isn't a constant thing. Just have to delay the build 4 days more : / urgh!!

Just a bit of bad luck

I've used loads of 1TB F3's in customer builds and never had a failure yet.

Sounds like a Dalek having a seizure!

RMA

Is there any context as to how loud it is?

I stuck my phone next to it, which is next to the Corsair H100 rad with x2 fans on it.

The HDD is also in a HDD enclosure to keep it quiet xD Must be pretty loud
