Have a Samsung F1 500gb now I understand that there is bound to be access noise from the disk reading but what is considered normal? For instance when I do a defrag the disk accessing is very very audible like extremely rapid ticking and consistent with the defrag process on screen. Just wondering really, when Im surfing the net there is no noise and if I open an application its like a split second access noise which is actually quieter than defrag access noise. Just trying to acertain whether the loudness when defragging is normal.
 
The drive is doing far more work during a defrag than any other operation so it's understandable for the noise to be more apparant.
