I have an 80 gig WD IDE drive with win 7 64 bit SP1 and my question is that when I run my anti-virus it makes a rattling sound when the program starts and then the sound stops. The drive has been working very good with no sounds. I also found out that if I run a benchmark on the drive it will do the same thing at the start but then stops. This drive is about 5 years old with no other problems.
Does anyone know if this is a normal sound when running these 2 programs or is this drive about to fail?
I do know that when you benchmark a drive it will put a lot of stress on the drive and if the drive is weak it can fail.
