Hello all. I recently purchased the 17inch SR mbp with the 160gb seagate momentus 7200rpm hard drive in it. My problem is this:
Every 30 to 45 seconds, when the hard drive is idle (ie, not playing mp3's through itunes or watching videos), it makes this sound like it is trying to start spinning or engaging but then chooses to stop abruptly...I am not a hard drive expert and it is tough to explain, but when I am accessing the hd or playing mp3's, it does not happen. Basically you would hear this if you have this problem, if you are in a quiet room. And it is not the sound when u are accessing a file or anything. It is driving me nuts! Anyone have a similar issue?
