Hi.

I have just built a new system with a Crucial BX100 250GB SSD SATA 6Gbps 7mm Solid State Drive alongside a Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache. I have installed games onto the WD hard drive with no issues. Upon installing to the SSD, everytime i load a game the drive makes a high pitched whining noise. Is this normal on a SSD?
 
thanks for the response.

Ive downloaded steam onto the WD drive and installed some games onto this. When i downloaded COD Ghosts last week i've installed onto the SSD in hope it would load quicker. It is only this game which makes the high pitch noise, so thought itd be the SSD making the noise. Could it be the GPU making the noise? other games i've installed are MXGP, Crysis 1, GTA 4. I take it COD is the most graphic intense. I have a EVGA GeForce GTX 970 SC ACX 2.0 4096MB GDDR5.
