Interesting that it is 8~11hrs a day power on and not just constant disk accessing. Well, my 80GB 120GXP has been running almost constantly 24/7 for over a month now. I will report the minute it dies, lol.

<< It makes audible, but not loud, clicking noises intermittently during heavy read/write loads. It started doing that right away, I had just installed it! I hope that's normal and not a sign of a problem.

Same here on my 60gxp!

Atleast it isn't loosing sectors and making cat scratch noises like the 75gxp's I had before it. :disgust:

Hmmm, that means it probably isn't normal on the 120GXP either, because I know it's not normal on the 60GXP. My 60GXP never made any kind of clicking noises at all.
