I'm running a single ST3120827AS. When right clicking a large file (for example, a movie), the drive emits a quick "zipping" sort of sound. It's a short, fairly quiet, high pitched "zip." It lasts just shy of a second in duration.
I thought I ought to make mention of this, as it's an entirely new sound to me. Previous searches haven't yielded any information. If anyone could tell me why the drive might make such a sound, it would be appreciated. I've heard maxtors make deep growls, IBM's click, but never this.
*edit, "quiet", not "quite."
