I came back from a LaN yesterday (possibly my last one ever as i'm selling the gaming computer) and there was a buzzing noise coming from what appears to be my HDDs. Here are my x2 drives and results:

Your hard disk is a Maxtor 6L300S0 with firmware BANC1G10.
The average temperature for this hard disk is 36C (MIN=26C MAX=49C) and yours is 30C.



Your hard disk is a WDC WD740GD-00FLA2 with firmware 31.08F31.
The average temperature for this hard disk is 32C (MIN=21C MAX=45C) and yours is 32C.



Testing software is Speed Fan


Now the WD Raptor looks ok but i'm very concerned about the Maxtor. Should i be writting all my files to DVD as we speak? or rushing to PC world for a backup drive? Looks bad to me!
 
Well im selling my performance computer and just keeping a laptop for work soon so a NAS or USB drive might be best for me. The noise has now stopped but i'm backing up as we speak :)
