- I just bought a new Western Digital Caviar 2200(212mb) hard drive. It makes
- big noise when the head is moving comparing with my old Western Digital 2100.
- Also, when I use Norton Utility to check the disk, I found initially I can
- hear some (week) sound coming out of disk. After half of the disk is checked,
- the sound disappears. Since I do not know anything about this drive, could
- somebody tell me if all these things should happen with this drive? Also, in
- general, is this a good drive? Thank you very much.
