Re: Power down hard drives?
Ok, i removed the hard drives to see which one was making the noise and flaming nora, i never realised how much noise it was making. I removed the excelstor (iirc these are rebranded, refurbished ibm 'deskstar?' drives). The bass completely...disappeared, my system has halved in noise.

Now the what i'd like to know is whether ebuyer would honour this when returned, or could they claim 'thats just the noise it makes', or it isnt a reason to return (can't be double of my system noise..). Its under 3 year warranty still, but ebuyer don't stock anymore of the drive.

I really don't want to end up with having return carriage fees for an 'unfaulty' item in their eyes...anybody have any clues on ebuyer policy? Its also my boot drive with 50 out of 60gb with needed data...

Thanks
