Hi All,

Recently I installed the latest Google Chrome Beta 0.3.154.9.
It's very fast in loading & closing, compared to previously IE7.

However, whenever I start my 1st Chrome of the day, after few seconds, the Hard Disk Drive creates lots of noise,
it's like a hordes of soldiers marching, seems like the HDD is writing & caching some process, the sounds is quite constant, it will marching for about 1 minutes then it stops.

My HDD is WD Raptor 74GB, as some of u may know, this HDD is quite soundy when working.

May I know is there any problem on this Marching Sounds in my HDD ?
Or any solution to this ?

Thanks in advance.

no happening here.

must be something else.

Only happens with Chrome? Have you tried Firefox or Opera?
Check your Task Manager and see which 1 is hogging the CPU or memory first

Yeah, only Chrome, i tried Firefox/IE/Opera haven't got this Marching Sounds on HDD.
Task Manager, just normal with Chrome.exe
There is one "chrome.exe" is around 47MB, i think this is the main that needed to load every tab.
And then there's multiple "chrome.exe" appear depends how many tabs u're opened.
This sub chrome.exe is around 5MB-15MB each.

I think this Beta chrome still buggy still. although many new nice functions is usable (that's why i changed browser)
The poorest making is the "Favourites" functions. All other functions is better than Chrome (now).

Never experienced that before
I'm a loyal Google Chrome user here btw although it's quite buggy most of the time......

zsnipes, i found something for you:
http://www.chromeplugins.org/google/chrome...isk-i-o-37.html

and here: http://google-chrome-browser.com/io-google-chrome

Chrome obviously has different ways of caching data and it has higher disk I/O operations than any other browser

happy reading!
