Quiet Drive problem

pelle242 · #1 (**permalink**) 12-11-2007, 11:48 AM

Hi,

I just installed a 500GB spinpoint drive in a Quiet Drive. The disk is really quiet except for the "seek" noise that i wanted to get rid of. After installation the noise from the head seeking can not be heard anymore but instead a very low frequency "humming" noise has occured. If i touch the Quiet Drive assembly I can feel a vibration. I guess somehow the drive is self oscilllating or something? I was quite carefull when installing and I am fairly certain I did install it correctly.. Any ideas ??

Hi,

Did you mount the Quiet Drive into the 5.25" bay? It could be that it is tightened too much so enclosure does not work well, because the screws hit the Quiet Drive directly.

Greetings

Yes, I mounted it in a 5.24" bay. I will check the screws.
