    When I work with my new 630m I can hear sound when HDD starts working. The sound appears when HDD indicator lamp turns on. It's not loud, but I don't lik it. Is it normal for noutbook HDDs?

    It is very normal. All hard drives make sounds. My 9300 is crezy quit compared to my desktop I built. So it is much easier to hear my HD in my notebook then my desktop. Actually, I don't think I ever heard it in my desktop.
