| All but 2 of my hard drives are repaired. Actually the hard drive that makes the most noise is the retail 200GB hard drive. Althouhg that might be because of different versions.

| FYI, the RMA referbished ones often receive more testing to make sure they are functioning correctly than the new ones. The last thing the manufacturers want is for a drive to immediately fail a second time and be sent back for an RMA. So, I have actually found RMA drives to be more dependable than new ones strangely. I know this is counterintuitive, but it really isn't if you think about it a bit. |
