My new Seagate 250gb 7200.10 HD is making a high pitched sound that is annoying the heck out of me.
Is anyone else having this same experience. I got this drive cus it was single platter, and supposed to be quiet.

Should I RMA back to newegg?

Maybe. I have the same drive, and it doesn't make any odd noises. Try to get a new one and see what happens.

Mine are almost silent. Can't here them above the noise of the fans (which are quiet too)

srp49ers,

I just bought 2 new Seagate SATA 250s but haven't used either one yet. But if either squeals like yours, back it goes. I think you should call Newegg and RMA it.
