Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here.

I can't really say I've heard much from SSDs (Intel 320, M4, or Samsung). Since OP is using a laptop, it's more than likely the annoying noise the CPU makes when switching states or from the voltage regulators dealing with the power draw on disk access.
I have a Samsung 830 512GB that...
