Samsung 2TB SpinPoint F4EG - Is this spin up noise normal?

Post by FlexiPack » Mon Oct 31, 2011 5:26 am

I recently got the Samsung F4EG, the drive is relatively quiet in operation but I've never heard a spin up noise like this from a drive before. It's loud and annoying, are all F4EG drives like this?

The noise is normal for Spinpoint drives although yours is a little louder than usual.
