I've got a couple of WD Black hard drives in my system, they're just used as storage.
Noticed this morning that there was constant sounds of disk activity, check Windows 7 resource monitor. Says the drives have no activity, no files being written to, should be idle.
Activity LED is dark.
Shutdown, power off, restart enter the UEFI BIOS hard drive activity sounds can easily be heard. Power off restart, press F8 at Windows, boot option screen same thing.
So are the hard drive(s) doing something on their own? It doesn't sound like a bad sound, just disk activity like if you were moving many files around.
