HD access
my quantum 40 always has, too (at least i can hear it) but my Seagate 2383N
never does (and it is louder so I should be able to hear it) – also can't
hear my Rodime 3057S do it, either but that drive is very VERY quiet.
never bothered me or concerned me when I heard the Quantum do it, just
figured it was auto parking or something – obviously no harm done as it has
done it's little automatic dance for almost two years. the access light
doesn't come on, I can just hear the little jig as it dances with itself
from time to time.
