i just bought my seagate 1.5 TB external hard disk yesterday
but i keep hearing ticking sound from the hard disk

is it normal?

I have the ticking sound with my seagate hd too.But so far no read/write problem.
But since your HD is new better ask for replacement since you won't know when it will have problem.

I'm using WD green.For me the performance is just as good as normal HD.But it run cooler than other HD.
I thought WD Green also comes with 5 years of warranty?

hi,

i bought a WD HDD 1TB caviar Green just now at RM 276, worth it? I did format, partition and now its running smoothy, but i wan to know that iisit alright to touch the side of the HDD with the chip side? becuase i touched it when i was installing the HDD. and another thing is, is there any difference betwen caviar blue and green, in terms of performance.

TY~

I'm using 3 WD Green.All of them are very reliable so far(lasting for a long time even under 24 hours usage).
It's ok if you touch the chip.
Green is suitable to store files.It performance isn't as good as Black /Blue but almost as good as other normal hard disk.

Do harddisk rpm affect the gaming experience?
*
Yes in a way.There is loading time difference in 5400rpm and 7200rpm.But while playing there isn't much difference.

I have RMA 1 1/2 years old HD from WD.Don't have to pay extra for RMA.
Maybe WD don't have to pay extra for RMA.
