I've got two Samsung 750gb F1 drives in my desktop. One is for windows/programs, the second one for music/videos.
When I go to play music or videos for the first time in a couple minutes, I can hear the drive turn on and spin up, and winamp will freeze until the drive is ready.
However, it never has any problems while I'm using it, like playing music consistently.
Sometimes when I'm not using it, I can hear it decide turn on and spin up. It's the same sound that it makes when I turn on my computer. It does this probably a couple times per hour.
This started happening over 3 months ago, so I backed everything up, but it's been doing the same thing for a while. Should I check the SMART status or something? How do I do that? CHKDSK reports no errors on any drive. Opinions?
