    Hello,

    I have a dell XPS M1530 setup can be seen in my signature.

    My Desktop pc crashed like 2 weeks ago and im to lazy to fix it so my xps became my main laptop/pc. I use it a lot lately since I have to work at home on a assignment so my laptop runs for like 6-8 hours a day. I noticed the HD is getting more noisy in this time. At first it was just the loud click now and then but now also the spinning of the HD gets noticeable where it first was dead silence. At first I thought it was a fan but then i traced the sound down to the HD its makes the exact same noise as the laptop fan working when gaming or doing things that stress your system only the hd make sthis noise from the moment it starts up >.<

    SOmething i can fix or is this something i should call dell about ?

    Btw I have 320GB Samsung HD
