Some questions to the happy owners of the Precission M4600 Notebooks

I mostly can find tests in which the Vertex 3 looks quite good. Also I had difficulties finding people complaining about the Vertex 3.

You seem not to like the Intel SSD either. Is there another one you prefer?
I'm looking for ~250GB. I don't want to spend more than 500 EUR (~730 USD)

 

I just bought a 256GB Crucial M4 off of ebay for $388, brand new, sealed in box. When I was shopping around, the Crucials seemed to be fastest or near fastest; certainly in read speeds. 415 MB/sec read and 260 MB/sec write.

 

My m4600 is here now. Overall it is a really nice machine.
BUT: There is a chirping noise coming from somewhere below the keyboard. It is not present all the time, but when it is, it makes me crazy.
It has a very high frequency. I am sure that many peoble won't be able to hear it. But I am.
I must do something about this...

 

Are there any news on this issue? I'm currently considering the M4600 as my next PC, but I'm very sensitive to noise as well. This would be a dealbreaker for me.

Is the noise just coming from the harddisk drive (which I could replace myself) or is it something else? Anyone?

Thanks,
