I just got a new prebuilt ACER PC. it has a SATA 80GB HDD. (Western digital i think...have not verified) it had windows preinstalled
anyway the HDD is EXTREMELY loud whenever accesing, at least 2x as loud as the CPU fan "high" speed... can hear it from 12ft away . it sounds like a really old 4GB HDD from 10yrs ago actually when accesing.
Im guessing this is not normal, but i am new to SATA stuff... im guessing a RMA is inorder
