Just had a seagate drive go south on me and the symptom wasn't quite a bird chirping but an intermittant high pitched noise that got progressively worse over ashort period of time time. I actually thought it was one of the fans and spent a bit of time inside the computer removing and replacing them. Finally traced it to the hard drive which was less than 6 months old when I started having troubles on boot up. This was a 250 g drive.

Got a 7200.10 drive, the 320gb sata II one It has LOADS of complaints of BIRD CHIRPING noises, many many complaints. I see this for no other hard drive, nothing near this many complaints. It's happening to me, yet the drive never freezes, gives errors or fails to boot or load programs. It's FAST, so what is the deal? Shouldn't a failing hard drive have more symptoms than that BIRD CHIRPING sound? It seriously sounds like you have a PARROT or some BIRD chirping, chirp, now and then, in your room. |

So should I avoid seagate or just certian capacities? Mines a 320GB, yours a 250G, which should I get?

running 7 of them including a 6 year old one in a PVR and not one hint
of a problem out of them. But I also keep my drives cool and I think
that has a lot to do with why they are still running like new. I've had
2 drives dier on me over the years. One was a WD and the other an IBM
Deathstar.
