SSD squealing?!

One of my SSDs sounds like it is squealing during access, has anyone here ever experienced this and does it mean that one of them is dying?

Are you sure it's the SSD and not your PSU??

I had one that started squealing on disk accesses and it went pop not long after.

Well, it's only making the noise when the HDD light lights up and I was copying files to the SSD at the time. I guess it's possible that it's the PSU but the load on an SSD is so small.

Mine was powering 6 RAID'd WD Green drives at the time.... where were you copying from??

A network drive. I think I'll do some more copying to and from the SSDs and see if I can work out which drive it is.
