Beep, then click, then everything is cool. This is during operation. I have it on my desk at work, next to my corporate D610, for my music and such. So now, the last time it did it, it was up and running for about 4.5 hours.
Love the latin quote, maybe you are the man to solve this!

Question: I am receiving an intermittent beep from this HD running in a
laptop with windows vista. I am certain that this noise is from the HD.
Is this a warning noise; or what does it indicate?
Shouldn't that be a Dell issue, since the hardware warranty covers HD's.
Changing the HD is the last thing I want to do, it'd take ages to get everything set up again.
Is the Beep a known problem that turns into drive failure?
Since it's not actually broken, would dell still replace it?
So what are they going to do? Would you get a new hard disk? Presumably they'll take away the old one, rather than copy the data off it (unless you have the 'keep your HD' option I guess).
Do you know if it'll come with Vista and the recovery partition for that machine or would you need to reinstall it all yourself?
They had me do the same with the same results (no errors). Now they asked me to set Quiet Mode into the BIOS's HDD acoustic mode. Hope it works. I'll try when I get back home.

I have no idea what it is though, sorry.
