Western Digital SATA II

Danger Phoenix · 27 Oct 2006 at 17:05

I bought a Western Digital 320GB SATA II 16MB Cache drive just over a week ago, and the reading and writing noise is driving me nuts. I have had four Western Digital IDE drives in the past, and none of them ever made this much noise when reading and writing!

Too find out if it was just the hard disk I got, or if they were all the sale? :confused:

LMAO - hate to butt in on this couple's tiff you two seem to be having, but I thought I'd add some input here.

Not all are loud reading and writing. I've had 2x 500GB versions (SATA-II WD5000KS which should have more platter and heads) and they have both been whisper quiet - sounds like you were just unlucky.

My WD 250GB makes a louder whine in general but the Seagate 320GB Clicks louder when accessing - seems you cant win either way!
