[QUOTE="dcwp, post: 1186566, member: 25562"] I recently moved my MP setup to a new laptop. As with my previous setup, media is stored on two external HDDs. Unlike with my previous setup, the power supplies for the HDDs constantly make a high pitched noise except when they are actively serving media. It seems to be coil vibration when they are not drawing current, on my previous PC it happened whenever the computer was powered down. So I take it to be a good sign - my new laptop is probably not accessing the HDDs constantly, which must be better for them and better for power consumption. But it's completely irritating. Any thoughts on how to stop the coil noise? Especially without causing extra strain on the HDDs? Thanks [/QUOTE]
