Hi guys,

Hope you can help with a little problem I am having. I used to use the following system,
-3800 X2 [over clocked to an amazing 2.1GHz!]
-7900gt
-250 Gb, Samsung SpinPoint P120, SP2504C

Then after going nuts with having so much space, I needed a new drive.
So I decided to buy another one, an identical one.

So now I have two of them.

But I have noticed that one of them, I think that its the new one, sounds like my old 386 hard drive. It makes a lot of noise. It sounds like its seeking all the time, and never just calms down.

Am I just being stupid, and am missing somehting or should I look into an RMA.

Thanks

Rob
