I've got a Seagate ST3250824AS which I've had for a year or so, and recently taken it out of my PC to put in my IcyBox, it was replaced internally by a 500gb.

I always thought it was noisier than my other Seagate 250gb, slightly older than it, but since having it on my desk I've now realised it's REALLY noisy! HDTach showed similar benchmarks when they were both internal, now that it's external, I can't really compare them fairly anymore.

My question is, is that worth an RMA? It makes more noise at one end of the disk compared to the other, so I'm guessing it is actually a fault?
