    Hello everybody!
    I've just got yesterday my XPS ordered from Costco.ca and so far it seems OK. I just notice some clicking noise on the Samsung HDD (250 GB, 5400 rot/min) and I was wondering if this is OK? Those sounds can be hear during normal running aplication like web surfing using Firefox. I previously had two HP DV6642CA bought from Future Shop and one of them had a Samsung HDD and the other an WD Scorpio, both of them 250Gb, 5400 rot/min. Both of these had the same noise like in the one from my XPS, except they were more often and maybe a little bit more noisy!?
    You guys have the same problem or I'm too sensitive to noises??? Anyway my wife was asking me what is that sound...so that she noticed it as well.

    Any comment will be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks,

    Alin.

    the clicking sound seems to be the norm on the 1530
