Well I have a slight squeel coming out of my computer. Now its not loud and probably not even aduible to most people, but i have rather good hearing(i can hear the squeel on tv's. Now it sounds like it is coming from my HDD, its a new Seagate Baracudda 500gb. Need I worry?

Back up! Back up! Back up! I have lost enough HDDs trust me you want to Back up! They make a sound and that means that a timer has started somewhere in the heavens and hells and it will be visiting those places soon, depending ofcourse on how it has performed

Why do they blame me for all their little failings? They use my name as if I spent my entire day sitting on their shoulders, forcing them to commit acts they would otherwise find repulsive - Lucifer

Alright, time to whip out the old external drive. XD
Need help with something else now, im looking for a new fan for my cpu cooler. The stock fan that came with it, well just is boring and kinda loud. Im looking for a 120mm Blue LED fan that i can plug into the 4pin CPU FAN spot on my mobo.(NOT MOLEX) I can find fans that have molex but i can't find anything that will go from molex to a 4pin mobo. help?

Ok now it's back up to 287.4 hmmm this is really odd. And no virus on here. Probably just my pagefile taking up space. Correction: hopefully just the pagefile.

Well ive been looking on the seagate forums and turns out a lot of the 7200.11 models like mine are making this noise but it's nothing to worry about but its just annoying to hear. Which i don't because im always listening to music.

It is on my seagate. But my external can't hold everything on it, so im just backing up the stuff that I would have to download again. Like my 8 gigs of music for example, 10 gigs of movies, and other installers and game patches.

Ok guys this is really screwed up. I put my computer into sleep mode and then woke it back up. When i put it into sleep mode it turned off my HDD. I woke it up and they HDD came back on but no noise coming from it right away. It takes a little for it to start doing it again. Hmmm....maybe it has a bad bearing inside. Idk maybe i should have it replaced.
