My external hard drive is rather loud....

#3810887 - 02/21/05 02:23 PM (21 years, 8 months ago)

It makes a whirring noise, which I'm assuming is the fan? It's not always loud, but after being on for awhile, it often does this. It's noiser then both my laptop & desktop combined!

Could there be something wrong? Is there a way to fix this really annoying sound?

--------------------
The very nature of experience is ineffable; it transcends cognitive thought and intellectualized analysis. To be without experience is to be without an emotional knowledge of what the experience translates into. The desire for the understanding of what life is made of is the motivation that drives us all. Without it, in fear of the experiences what life can hold is among the greatest contradictions; to live in fear of death while not being alive.
