I recently replaced my PC's hard drive with a Hitachi GST Deskstar 7K2000 HDS722020ALA330 and it makes so much noise that I want to replace it again. I re-read the reviews for this drive expecting to see people complaining about the noise but I didn't see much in that regard, this makes me wonder.... is this normal?
Please listen to the audio in the following YouTube video. MovieMaker made my add a video or image so I grabbed a photo that was on my desktop. It's a laptop, that is NOT the system I'm talking about. https://youtu.be/6cglrQouqdo
WMIC reports status:
OK
CrystalDiskInfo also claims all is well
If this is normal, is there a specification that addresses "operation noise"? How can I purchase a drive that is quiet (without going SSD)?
