does anyone defrag their harddrives? after how long do u do this!?
Well my problem has occured again its been around 6 months since ive had my seagate barracudas! the supposedly 'SUPER QUIET' Harddrives!!! what a joke
my ones are loud like a whining sound ive tried western digital, maxtor, and now seagate and i can confirm that every harddrive ive brogght from all these companies seems to get LOUDER AND LOUDER after time! the sound is like a whining sound and today ive noticed it signiicantly!
some of you may remember my companing abt this be4. it seems whenver i buy a new harddrive it is super quiet and then around 6/8 months later the harddrive gets loud. this is coming from a pc that is on 24/7 when i mean 24/7 i mean this. could this be detrimental? i never defrag my harddrives i think its dangerous. does anyone think defraging will REDUCE the noise?
lots of my friends have got western digital and maxtor and yet they never seem to have any problems with this noise issue. its so anooying ive got quite cpu fan a quiet psu and these harddries meant to be quiet are so very loud!
its definetly the harddrives, when i but the computer to standby there annoying noise will go way.
i dont hear any abnormal CLICKS (touch wood) its just a constant sound that annoys me.
anyone have any theories as to why my harddrives always appear to get loud and annoying?
