Hi Jon
Thanks for your reply.
As I've just "said" to joemikeb, the noise does not sound anywhere near as harsh as any of the (Toshiba) "Hard Drive Sounds", slightly similar to "stuck spindle" but not as loud.
Also as I replied to joemikeb, I, in my ignorance, would have expected something more noticeable with a stuck spindle.
Again, thanks and I would obviously appreciate any more input you - or anyone else - may have.
Regards. Mike
I forgot to add that it does not sound like any of the other manufacturers' noises either!
